Got a little story to tell about this one. I have published some of these cartoons in my old student newspaper, but I always had full editorial control over them. But I do have some experience of what it must be like to have an editor. All of the cartoons that are currently running (the “Is Chuckles Gay” storyline) were written and drawn during a course I was doing in art school back in ’07. For this comic, the prof suggested to me that it wasn’t funny because no man would buy a thong. I told him that is precisely why it’s funny. But for the purpose of the course, I changed it to “bikini briefs.” I’ve changed it back here, because that prof was wrong! Hell, I’m pretty sure even Peter Griffin has worn a thong on Family Guy, so take that prof who shall go unnamed!
