BLEND: A Comic About Tea By Cara McGee
This is the first multi-page comic I’ve done in about a year, and it was so much fun to do, despite not sleeping for about a week to get it all done. Here’s a nice preview of the first six pages! I may post the full comic online one of these days, but until then, you can buy a full copy of the comic from me at any of the cons I’ll be at this summer, including 221b Con this weekend, and C2E2 at the end of the month! Each copy of the comic also comes with a sample pack of the tea that the comic is based on*!*tea may or may not give you bad ass, dragon fighting dreams.
He looks back at the guy like, “SEE THAT? SHE SAID YES. YOU’RE SO FUCKED.”Like, guys. Sparta was so kick ASS sometimes when it came to women. Spartan women were given these small knives so that if their husbands came home and tried to hit them or assault them, they had a weapon within reach. That weapon was for CUTTING THEIR HUSBANDS’ FUCKING FACES so that when he went out in public everyone would know he was an asshole, abusing jerkface and they would publicly shame him.
I DID NOT KNOW THAT THAT IS GREAT
LET’S JUST TALK ABOUT SPARTAN WOMEN FOR A SECOND.
In Sparta, women could own land and were considered citizens. THAT IS A HUGE BIG FUCKING DEAL. Why? Because that was RARE AS FUCK and there are lots of places TODAY where women don’t even get that much.
Divorce was totally fine, and a woman could expect to keep her own wealth and get custody of the kids because paternal lineage wasn’t very important. And it didn’t make her a pariah! She could totally remarry, no big deal at all.
Spartan women participated in some fuckin’ badass sporting events, too. And because they were expected to be as physically fit as the Spartan menfolk (who all had to serve compulsory military duties, btw, and couldn’t marry until they finished them at thirty) they didn’t have time for lots of swishy dresses. So they wore notoriously short skirts. According to some accounts, their thighs were visible at all times. HOLY SHIT.
Also, In Sparta men only got their names on their graves if they died in battle. And women? Women only got their names on their graves if they died in childbirth. THE SPARTANS COMPARED CHILDBIRTH TO FUCKING BATTLE AND IT WAS VIEWED AS A GODDAMN BADASS AND HONORABLE WAY TO GO OUT.
FUCKING SPARTAN WOMEN. THIS DUDE HAD FUCKIN’ BETTER MAKE SURE SHE’S COOL WITH WHATEVER HE’S DOING, IF HE KNOWS WHAT’S FUCKIN’ GOOD FOR HIM.

So I’ve been seeing this go around on … well tumblr and a few other places. I’ve deleted all the profanity that was under this picture originally. Let me begin by saying… the ACLU has basically blown something *way* out of proportion. While I can agree with some of their causes, others… they go overboard. I guess this map is working in turning heads.
There needs to be reasonable suspicion, and this applies at the borders where people had to have very recently crossed, or at places like airports. Where they have the right to search you anyhow. Not anywhere and everywhere. And they need to have reasonable suspicion. Now if you’re against that much, sure, take a stand. However there isn’t an actual 100 mile radius of a constitutional free zone.
An article I think people ought to read to clear it up for you.
Do your research people! Geez.

Cute fox! Granted I wouldn’t want it anywhere near my cats. Still, so cute! I wonder what’s on, in, or under the mattress that’s making it go crazy.
