: Just kinda wondering. Because when I read that comic, I was really appalled at Jay trying to screw Trish against her will. Looked like sexual assault at least, maybe rape. I was one of the people who bitched about it on the Board at the time, and it seemed you just didn't get why some of us thought this just wasn't funny.
: Even though Trish was more angry than hurt and was in control of the situation, it still spoiled the story for me. Despite the many Amy references, I still have difficulty re-reading that comic. All your other sexual jokes - the screwing a dead guy, sex in an elevator, keys down the pants of a corpse, etc - have not involved violence.
: If you had it to do over again, would you change the Jay/Trish scene?
: John
I think there is a thing like, "while stuff like rape and violence is abhorrent, it still exists, and is a valid topic for some things." While Kevin dislikes rape,et al., he should not completely exclude such topics from films, comics, whatever...
