Robin, humans ARE assholes by birth design, you can’t help it. and you can’t change the fact that .. we are born into a race that will start a fight for merely the sake of starting a fight! also whoever comes to your face and starts spitting or coughing, like a plague spreader, is legally a bio-terrorist. but yeah! wearing a mask is not really THAT bad! i enjoy having mu face hidden, having my expressions limited, and having my lack-of emotions, unreadable. for depressed people, masks are kind of “social hidden heavens” also the bug alone is not the only excuse, you could wear one and say you caught a cold, and don’t wish to sneeze in everyone’s faces. masks are nice!
My favorite part is, having a trans past, I can switch my voice to a lower register instantly. I’d drop register in a crowd, and insult some jerk, and if they tried to confront me about it, reply in a high register and ask them what the hell they are talking about? If you can get them to doubt their own ears its extra points.
What a backward society she lives in, where people give her grief because she does her part to keep them safe from a disease that has caused a global pandemic.
I always feel forced to smile, mask or no mask; it’s just my instinctive first reaction. But I just got caught in the beauty of this strip. The poses are so natural, even the hands. I love the little changes in expression, the different angles, the detailed line art, the textures, and all the background details. I can look at it for a long time, simply enjoying how pretty it is and how grounded it feels.
I understand that this is an obvious trolling comment, but no one is saying you can’t take off the mask, just have the courtesy not to do it near other people.

That would be the US where people are still calling the pandemic a hoax because they aren’t sick (yet).
Danny says
That…actually makes a lot of sense.

This is the situation we have here. Technically mask-free, but still required to wear one in public transit, Uber, Lyft, or cabs.

Easier to wear a social mask when you’re wearing a physical one too, eh?

Another genius comic!!!

Right now, take it off, right now, take it off (oh) says
I love the cold breeze hitting my face more than any mask. Y’know, that relieving feeling you get when you take off the mask.
