The Comic Strip, Part 33 - Is there concrete all around, or is it in my head?

"The Crying Game" - May 5, 1992

Hey look! Just in time for the World Cup!


This is another one that I've spent a lot of time on - a couple of weeks, in fact. I've decided to ditch most of my thoughts as they add no value to the internet. Ultimately, my deleted ramblings about this episode end up here:

I have no doubt that sooner or later some professional team sport athlete will come out of the closet. The trouble is, that it will have to be a marquee player, just like in this episode. That is really the only way that they will be kept on the team. If it is some third-string backup player, it will never happen, they'll just be cut loose. So what is in some way meant to be a satire, in the light of day, is not really. Mark my words. This is a blueprint for what will happen. I'm looking forward to it, to tell you the truth.

That, and I really like prosthetic chin guy, on the left there.
