              Be careful not to repeat the initials THREE times, though. Superpowers do not lie down that path. I speak from experience, as the bearer of RRR.

              Theme naming is never a specifically good thing.
              My half-siblings and I were all given names that, when shortened, were gender neutral:
              Eli, Sam, Dani, Micki.

                I think giving someone a name that’s got a gender-neutral nickname is actually a really good idea, in case that person realizes they aren’t cis-gendered.

                  I agree there, though that sadly does leave out some very nice gender-specific names.

                  Of course, they could always reclaim them in the name of their preferred gender.

                  I knew a guy who had a lovely name that didn’t seem gender specific. When he got interested in transitioning, he asked to be called by a new name, that was quite gender specific.

                  Most people who transition (regardless of the degree of it) are honestly going to want a different name. However, it gives them a way to make that transition a bit easier. Also, it’s great for people who are gender-queer.

                Though nothing actually came of it, when my mom was pregnant with me they seriously considered giving me a name starting with C. This was due to the fact that between my older sister, my mom and my dad the first name initials in my family at that point were A, B and D. The reason I didn’t get a C name was the only one my parents liked was Charlotte and I already had a cousin named Charlie.

                The three brothers of my best friend from college have initials that spell out shortened versions of their first names, so that Benjamin Edward N. becomes B.E.N., Jonathan Oliver N. becomes J.O.N., and Daniel Andrew N. becomes D.A.N.

                I would consider this the coolest name idea ever if I didn’t have a friend named Christa with the middle name Lynn: “crystalline”!

              We specifically chose names that didn’t make anything with the initials. No leg, rug, jog, bag, hug, etc. for our kids. We did, however, give the boys an English first name and a Spanish middle name. Our daughter got a Spanish first name and an English middle name.

            My parents named all their boys with a given name followed by Dad’s name,
            Thus: JG (me), CG, IG, and DG. Only our sister was spared… sorta. She got Mom’s name then her own given name (NL).

            So far CG and IG have become parents, and neither made the same mist……er, didn’t follow the tradition.

            Could be worse.  I had a cousin who had five children; other than the first who was named “Mary” after her mother, the other four all had names starting with “D” (Daniel, David, Debra, and Dennis), and their middle names — even Deb’s — were all the same (Eugene).  Imagine — four kids with the same “DEB” monogram!

            Our entire extended family, completely unintentionally, all have two syllable names. Not a single one-syllable or three syllable name. And I think I plan on continuing this tradition. Two-syllable names just sound natural to say to me.

            In my mother’s family all us cousins minus one have old Nordic names like Troels, Tue, Nanna, Signe, Gro and Maja – I’m sure they didn’t plan it that way, but I know at least my father wanted me and my sister to have names which aren’t derived from male names (like Laura from Laurentius, Christine from Christian etc.) and then it’s pretty safe to go with an old Nordic name…

              Chiming in late since Beth’s comment hits so close to home.

              My folks gave me a first initial “P” and a middle initial “K” before Dad entered the seminary. It was only after he was ordained that they realized what they had done to me.

              As for Beth’s travails, be grateful that she didn’t call you the dog’s name. Mom had the habit of just keep on calling out the men in the house’s name (including dogs that had died years ago) until one of us answered. Especially when some male was in trouble. This would not have been so bad (I just waited for Dad or my little brother to answer first :-D), but she never had that problem with my 3 sisters names. Or the cats.

          You will utterly despise my father. His initials are R.A.M., and his favorite football team is the Rams…so he names me after himself so that he can have that damn “S” for his technical initials, and I get stuck being called the very childish form of my first name by my entire family so they can distinguish who is being talked about or called. I’ve asked them not to, they’ve refused because it’s easier for them.

              It’s possible to get your family to call you nearly anything, if you’re willing to push it. I recommend a mixture of brownie bribes and a willingness to prank. (However, grandparents may need to be exempt from the rules.)

          Koreans have this tradition thing where… even I’m not certain what’s going on here, but our ancestors chose a bunch of Chinese characters and the boys of each generation must have one of those character in their names and with each generation the Chinese character changes and we have to cycle through those generation through generation. My dad’s generation got “hyun”, which isn’t too bad. My generation got “man”, and all the boys names that has “man” in it are really really old fashioned, country bumpkin names. So my mom broke the tradition and named my brother without any “man” in his name. Which is a shame. Because he could have been a Man-Joon. Which would be so similar to man-doo (dumpling).

                  It’s actually pretty adorable in the Walkyverse. Both Walky and Joyce are a lot more mature, so they make it work.

        No, I think Joyce is oblivious at this point. I know when I back when I was still dating my now-ex-husband, my sister and I had conversations about how crazy/freaky/weird it would be that after I got married Andy would be her brother. And she was never attracted to him or anything like that it was just the realization that she would suddenly have new family. Joyce is just young, naive, and first starting to realize some of the implications of how marriage changes family dynamics.

          she did that to say ‘back the fuck off my brother, hobag.’

          As the unofficial expert of Texas Talkers Organized Talks Speakers (Known as T-TOTS), I say that we all speak with the words that hold meaning for each intended word that holds for what we mean to say. If one were to contract using the contractions of shortening for quicker speaking of words then we would spill out the garbage of what Joyce just said. Through talking, of course.

    The face, Ethan’s reaction to the ‘M’ word.

      Im not sure Joyce knows what she is doing. That does not mean that it’s random: she does what she figures draws a reaction and relates to what Ethan is interested in. And yes, she does know he’s gay and maybe even thinks that means he’s less bored than others when she brings up her brothers.

      Sort of reminds me of an SMBC sketch where a son is coming out to his parents, and they want him to employ his “gay powers” in order to pick out drapes and go shopping and stuff.

    The disturbed face in the last panel is greatly amusing to me, largely because of my extensive familiarity with the ‘relationship with step-sibling’ and ‘relationship with spouse’s sibling’ genres of fiction. His discomfort with the idea of sexual relations with someone you’re not blood-related to in the same family as you (and who you didn’t spend the first six years of your life around, thus not subject to the Westermarck effect) make me want to pat his classy naïve head.

    Joshua leaves to see friends and goes back to a challenging but apparently happy life and Ethan smiles. Joyce mentions marriage and he goes tight lip neutral. She links her brother, Ethan and the word freaky together – now that’s drama.

    2. Joshua/Ethan is not even close to sunk yet. Willis has barely built the ship yet! (Not like that stops the fans from completing it)
    3. I assert that Joyce has no idea what she is doing and never considered her brother might be gay.
    4. What I really want to know is: Do Joshua’s parents read his writing, and how open can Joshua really be in it? Also how does Joshua act around his friends when his parents are not around?

        I was thinking pen names, but really, these are Joyce’s parents. They are obviously going to want to read all his writings. Maybe he shows them some things and uses a pen name for others? Then again: freelance. It’s not like he’s writing continuously for the same magazine or something.

          New theory: he isn’t actually writing freelance, but he says that so his parents will never read his writings or meet his coworkers. Maybe it’s a gay publication, but more likely than not it is something with views different from that of his parents, because normal society is expected to read this.

      At the very least, I doubt Joshua’s parents would approve of his friends, and I bet Joshua will be changing shirts as soon as he gets where he is going. Unless the friends are a lie, and he is only using them as an excuse to ditch his parents.

      Is leaning on one arm with your other hand on your hip (like Ethan in the previous comic) indicative of flirtation? Is this enough to arouse suspicion?

        Leaning on a wall while being really close to someone could definitely be called flirtatious. It carries a subtle implication of isolating the object of your affection, in order to ensure they notice you. Or so I’ve come to believe, anyway.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. 

Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror...

I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. 

A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her

Printed out a lot of Amber's today, trying to get one the proper size and proportions (to Dorothy and Joyce), finally achieving it, but the glasses broke, so time for attempt 5

Tried printing Amber leaning back, hoping fir a cleaner face, as she's looking down and all the supports wrench up in there. But her soles might not be flat enough to stand this way, so we'll see.

Celebrating the last hours of Pride Month by posting one of my favorite things, the letter that stands as the first written evidence of “queer” used as a positive, self-ID term, written from Cyril Coeur de Leon aka “The Countess” to Billy Reynolds.
A typewritten transcription of a letter 

Flat 14a,
Montague Hotel, Montague Street,
Russell Square, W.C.1.

My Dear Billy,
just a note to say that I am very disappointed about
you, I honestly thought that you were queer, ax& but different from the others, and I liked you very much. I didnt intend coming to the Club last night only I felt that I must see you. I have only been queer since I came to London about two years ago, before then I knew nothing about it, as I told you I am married and have a little girl two years of age, and I still like girls occasionally, there are veryfew boys with whom I want to have an affair with, I like them all as friends
but nothing more. I have a boy staying with me and who is really my affair, we have been together now since I came to town and I like him very much, and I think he is a better pal to me than any woman could ever be, altho' sometimes I wish that I was still normal as queer
people are very temperamental and dissatisfied. I honestly hoped to have an affair with you Billy, and I shall only come to the Club to
see you. Well it is now 10-p.m. and I have just got up out of bed so must close down and have a bath and dress, and hope that you will
excuse my telling you all this only as I say, I like you very very much and feel that I can talk this way to you. Please be a dear boy and destroy this note, and do not mention it to anyone as this is jusu between you and I. I shall look forward to seeing you in about a couple of hours. Until then.
Your Very Sincere friend always,
Cyril Coeur
de Leon.
