Fuck! ...no, really, this is about how bob & george using that word and how sparing it is is pretty silly in hindsight when another, MUCH DIFFERENT series had that same philosophy about it.
** In the notes for the aptly named [[http://bobandgeorge.com/archives/011201c "Roll Says the F-Word"]], The Author self-admitted to restraining from using the word "fuck" for ''any'' reason except for once a year, so as to ensure it doesn't become "excessive" and the webcomic devolves into just saying it over and over. While it's mostly dismissed as just a strange writing decision by the Author at the time, over a full decade later, ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'' would apply a very similar philosophy for the same exact swear word by only using it once a season, though with a different utility and reasoning.

* ValuesDissonance: Top Man's CampGay portrayal and Mega Man's reaction to it would be extremely problematic in TheNewTwenties. In one comic alone, Mega Man assumes that there were no gay people in 1990 (when ''Mega Man 3'' was released) and that they're "icky". Top Man isn't any better, embodying stereotypes of how the author thought gay men talked and acted at the time. The author simply mentions that he got a good deal of hate mail for it, but changing trends in LGBT acceptance would result in much worse today.
