I was going through this latest issue of Babysue, reading a comic about how everyone is an asshole; another comic about a black lady who doesn’t realize she’s pregnant until she has a baby, then tosses the baby in a dumpster; a story about how fathers should take their sons out hunting and masturbate over the bloody remains of the freshly killed carcasses; another comic lampooning Jesus. I started thinking to myself that, if any other zine did this, it would be pretty offensive, but when Babysue does it, all I can think is that this guy really needs some new material. You just can’t be offensive when you tell the same jokes every time. I’ll admit that he did catch me off guard a couple of times and I actually laughed despite myself, but I was really hoping he’d do something new. Then, in one of the last comics, he came out and admitted what was probably pretty clear to anyone who’s read the zine more than once – he’s gay and not comfortable with his sexuality. It was pretty interesting to read this comic. It was even kind of funny that, in true Babysue fashion, he couched his coming out in a comic about how he hates “homos.” Okay. I can’t say he didn’t come up with any new material this time. And if I ever become a psychiatrist, I’m giving this guy free sessions just so that I can figure out what the fuck he’s thinking.
