Me: So Shortpacked! got this character who's the "Historical Jesus". Y'know, he's Jesus like he probably really was: Short, brownish jewish man who yell about the end of the world and giving to the poor and all of that stuff.
Dad: Yeah?
Me: Yeah, the manager of the store rised him from the dead, 'cuase controversy makes is a good way to get advertising
Dad: Heh, Cute
Me: So there was a strip of all the characters going to see "the Avengers", and we see all of them after the movie: the Batman nerd says it could've used more Batman, the Marvel nerd says it's the best movie ever-
Dad: Well, it IS
Me: And then of one them asks "What did you think, Jesus" and we see Historical Jesus sitting there, shocked saying "That's the greatest movie I've ever seen" and then we see a tagline that says "the Avengers: the Greatest Movie Jesus Christ Have Ever Seen"
Dad: *Laugh*
Me: And down at the bottom it says "Out of a sample size of "the Avengers", "Short Circuit" and "Short Circuit 2"
Dad: Huh? What's "Short Circuit"?
Me: It's a movie from the 80's about a robot
Dad: Why would Historical Jesus watch this movie?
Me: Oh! That's becuase ANOTHER character in the comics is a talking car and the "Short Circuit" movies are his favorite movies becuase he's an A.I, too and...
Dad: ...
Me: It makes more sense when you read the comic
Dad: I sure hope so

Dude, David Willis.

I don’t know if you guys read either of David Willis’s comics—he makes Shortpacked! and Dumbing of Age. And one of his comics just made me really happy in a sex positivity related way:

I love that David Willis spends time combating rape culture, promoting sex positivity, making comics with queer characters—Ethan, the protagonist of Shortpacked! is gay—and refusing to let his politics overwhelm what he’s really making: funny, solid, usually lighthearted comics. Partly because he knows he’s an ally, and his voice shouldn’t be the center of these political conversations. And he’s really talented, and oh man, basically just, David Willis appreciation post.

Anyway, this comic pinpoints something that’s important and doesn’t get talked about enough.

So yeah, if you’re a queer geek and/or a feminist geek I really recommend this guy’s work.

Sometimes amidst all this praise, I remember I’m still partly that little mal-educated fundie boy from backwater Indiana, and I worry I’ve raised everyone’s expectations regarding my Progressiveness unreasonably high. WHAT IF I SCREW UP???

If I’d drawn sexist jerk comics all these years, nobody’d expect anything from me! But now I’m trapped. TRAAAAPPED.

THIS. I’ve loved David Willis for this Shortpacked for forever, but Kevin Bolk always puts up a good fight as well, and I wanted to express my appreciation to both I always like seeing male artists take a stand against female objectification in comics. It needs to be an outside perspective, unfortunately, to get the point across sometimes - because as soon as a woman like myself comments on the problem all we hear in response is “you’re just jealous” and “you know you want to look like that.” Actually, I don’t. I know people who are constantly being belittled for their abilities because they’re drop dead gorgeous or they have huge breasts.

I’m not saying there aren’t women out there who want this - but let’s be honest… it’s mostly men who want this kind of woman. It is not completely their fault either - they’re constantly bombarded by media and society that tells them this is what a woman should look like, just as much as women are. Of course both men and women have a skewed perspective with this influence.

Well I have news for you - BOOBS ARE FAT. MOST WOMEN WITH HUGE BREASTS DO NOT HAVE TINY DELICATE WAISTS. That small percentage of women who do have tiny waists and huge breasts almost always have serious health issues due to so much weight on a frame that can’t support it.

But the real problem is not so much how they look - as others have pointed out, men are portrayed as strong muscled hunks in comics and other media as well (although I have to point to Shortpacked here, because they argue so much better than I ever could on that point). My major problem as far as objectification is the lack of women with distinct personalities. As a comics and anime fan, I’m constantly running up against females that are not well rounded characters. It’s like people don’t know how to write female characters. Women only use their bodies to get what they want, but beyond their bodies and sex appeal their characters always seem empty and lacking.

All I want is for female characters to have more power than the “power” they gain using their bodies to manipulate. This stems way back to the antifeminist church fathers’ writings way back in medieval times; they used to attack women for the same thing. I feel we should be past that at this point in time, don’t you?

/TLDR.

It’s written from the viewpoint of HAII when he’s in Shortpacked!’s “real” universe, so the last row of panels of this stuff hasn’t yet happened to the iteration that’s currently in Shortpacked!.
Tl;dr This current SP! storyline takes place between the second and third rows of panels.
