Benched, Part 2

by Terri Libenson

It pains me — really pains me — that I can’t publish this rough strip. But I pretty much knew it as soon as I wrote it.

As my editor and I talked, he pointed out that the first two panels are fine. Same-sex parenting can (and should, in my opinion) be discussed. It’s the third panel that kind of reduces the whole thing. I get that.

But, dammit, it’s still funny. And that’s what pains me the most.

Thank goddness for the blog. At least I have a platform for this. I’m sure more benched ones will be coming. Maybe even enough to start a web comic.

Hmm…
