Fuck me. I just saw the Mermaids tweet. Time to report him; that’s just waaay beyond acceptable.

For anyone yet to witness the horror, he’s taken this: https://stories.starbucks.com/emea/stories/2020/whatsyourname-starbucks-mermaids-cookie

And done this: https://mobile.twitter.com/TatsuyaIshida9/status/1228804575831810048

Piece of shit...

Well Milton, as they say "Pimpin' ain't easy."

(Yes I said it and I'm not sorry.)

Why be sorry? It's apt as heck in this situation. I'm surprised no one else said it first.

Once again the "laughing zombie lady" literally should not exist, they have brainwashing strong enough to break the personification of liberty. Not a single one of their drones should have any mind left... Tats sets things up and forgets all about them.

A couple of things in response to some of the posts I have seen.

1) This one was funny to me just because of the juxtaposition of the image. It is ludicrous that suddenly, zombie-maiden appears out of nowhere just to laugh at someone falling. That, for some strange reason, is hilarious to me.

2) My wife has been studying kanji lately and says that if you pronounce it phonetically it says "waifu". That was more on the previous one that we saw recently, but I am assuming that Tatsuya is copy and pasting the same artwork over and over.

3) I don't think Tatsuya watched the Starbucks commercial (and if he did he is avoiding addressing women-to-men transitioners like the plague because it refutes his belief system), but the video features a young woman who wants to transition to a man. Yet, his mock ad is a man wanting to transition to a woman. Not only that, most of the focus in that commercial was people regarding the person with a feminine name (Jemma) while she wanted to be called "James". NOT only that, she had shorter hair, dressed more like a boy, etc. In other words, she fought against gender stereotypes that Tatsuya is supposedly against.

Once again, with this bizaree hate boner he has, he subverts his own message.

I think Tatsuya is just anti-gay/homophobic (against men only) and is somehow conflating men transitioning into women with it.

Basically he's accidentally correct about not liking them, but not for the reasons he dislikes them!

Pretty much.

Nice new avatar BTW.

Thank you! I just love the little guy in his little pimp outfit! I think I have a new favourite character!

Two thoughts: -

One - Sabotage by the Beastie Boys

&

Two - That man couldn't get laid even if he ran a brothel

Silence thine mouth, wench!

No, no, no. There's a WAY better term here.

I must admit, today's strip gave me a chuckle. It could almost belong to Old Sinfest in spirit.

Is it just my imagination, or is Tats drawing Milton even shorter than he used to?

Checking back in the archives...

Milton's always been about three heads high - in fact he's slightly taller in today's comic strip due to the platform heels

Think it's just a case where since he so rarely gets drawn from that "camera" angle next to a normally porportioned character he comes across as short as he really is

P.S. Try https://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2017-05-14 for the most clear example

P.P.S. The hat covering so much of his actual forehead does make his face look a bit compressed

I will give props where props are due. Milton blushing while he's checking his Pimpin' App is a nice touch.

Well, at least Tats is going for comedy rather than messaging.

And yes, Milton was always a shorty.

Don't bother Milton, you aren't fooling anyone.

Using the characters we like to shill your point still doesn't work Tats.

Again I find Johnbies even more annoying than the Dude Bro thing he had earlier in the early and mid 2010's.

This comic could be an interesting jumping-off point, if Tats were so inclined. (Spoiler: He won't do this.)

Milton is repulsed by the handmaids' working conditions and by the clientele. So, being a practical engineer, he does something about it instead of just pissing and moaning!

"As your new pimp, I am laying down the law! First, all clients will be subject to a rigorous health and background check! Any client who does not have a health certificate signed by a doctor will be turned away! Any client with a history of mistreating our employees will be turned away!

"Second, happy employees are productive employees! Any employee with a problem is encouraged to bring it — anonymously or in person — to our new head of Employee Relations, that former hooker who still doesn't have a name. Any employee may join the new Handmaids' Union, Local 001,for the purpose of collective bargaining or group activities such as picnics.

"Third, our employees are here voluntarily! Those stupid pimp-hat drones are being reprogrammed even as I speak, and will become your bodyguards and bouncers to protect you against unruly clients! If you don't like your job, we encourage you to leave — our Employee Relations department will have an out-placement program.

"Fourth, I have implemented an employee bonus program! Clients will be able to anonymously credit handmaids for exemplary service, and the top five handmaids will receive a fifteen percent bonus in their paychecks! Oh, and handmaids will be able to keep all of their gratuities.

"That is all for now, but feel free to suggest improvements. And let's be careful out there!"

Dang it. This one was kind of funny too, although the Pettyfest that did it with eyes is actually better because it delivers more emotion to it. I don't get Tatsuya's thing about not drawing eyes. It holds him back.

I swear, I think Tatsuya just likes to remind us sometimes that he can do good work, it's just the majority of the time he just chooses not to.

It would be pretty funny to see Milton just flip the whole thing upside down.

Here's another interesting bit, by the way, that flies in the face of Tatsuya's belief system: did you all hear about this user from this website called Chatterbate? It's a woman who has a motion capture suit and basically portrays herself as an anime girl. In her first ten minutes she made something like $500. All the other cam girls are FURIOUS. They are talking smack to the male users that they are pathetic because they are choosing a cartoon girl over a real one. They are also doing everything in their power to remove that user, their competition.

It's almost like the cam girls WANT that patronage...huh. What do you think about that, Tatsuya?

Lol, that's probably something he would legitamately say, "reparations" and all that jazz.

(Channeling inner Tats) You should be giving those women your money without them needing to do anything you sexist, misogynistic ERK!

(Shakes head) Sorry about that. Takes a bit to clear out that brand of stupid.
