Rose is Rose is a Man!

November 14, 2008 · Filed Under Editorial, Worst of the Worst 


I have thought about doing a small series of stories about the quickly diminishing form of entertainment that I think a lot of people take for granted: The Comics. In doing so, I thought I might bash the one I hate the most - which is also the one I MUST read everyday as a form controlled rage release. That comic is the way too cute Rose is Rose, a true turd from illustrator/author Pat Brady. See above … and take insulin before reading it.

It is the beautiful story of the the Gumbo family, Rose, Jimbo, little Pasquale, and the cuddly Peekaboo. The strip revolves around dream ships, lisps, “let it be” trees, and lots of hugs and kisses. It really is the perfect reading at 6:00 a.m. with your morning Red Bull and seventh Marlboro Red. It really makes Jeffy from Family Circus look like Charles Manson.

I always let the saccharin sweetness of Rose and her clan roll off my back because I just assumed this Pat Brady must be some sort of earthly angel incapable of anything else. Like a grandmother that must spoil her grandchildren. In truth, I assumed Pat Brady was a woman.

He is not. Pat Brady is a man.

Now that I know this, I want to take my funny pages, strike a match, and burn off his nut hair. Because that’s what he deserves. No man - not even the gayest gay man on Planet Unicorn - should write garbage like that. Shit like this is totally uncalled for!

    I laughed out loud at this one, Chris.

    I simply cannot believe there is a dude behind that comic; there’s just no fucking way. Everything I have ever believed about manhood - and my understanding is tenuous at best - has been destroyed utterly.

    Unbelievable. My dreamship just crashed.
