Added entry for Doghouse Diaries


* ''Webcomic/ErikaAndThePrincesInDistress'' : Benoit disguises himself as a woman in order to challenge Queen Lagertha to a duel. Said disguise is incredibly obvious, merely consisting of a badly-adjusted wig and two tangerines under his shirt, not to mention he didn't even bother to shave. Lagertha immediately sees right through it, which surprises Benoit as [[SwissCheeseSecurity the guards were somehow completely fooled by it.]]

This apparently includes thinking a green man wearing a "homo sapian" shirt is [[TooDumbToLive supporting gay rights.]]]] A later {{Revision}} states that in actuality, Uryuoms are using some sort of [[LieToTheBeholder mental projection]] to disguise themselves, with the clothing at most being props the disguise is based on.
