New Coworker, Old Assumptions

I created this comic (based on a composite rather than an actual personal experience) for a course I used to teach on the Rhetoric of Gender & Sexuality for two reasons: (1) to demonstrate how to use the comic creator at Pixton.com; and (2) to provide an example of the way conventional femininity is assumed to be a sign of heterosexuality. Students went on to make their own “gender cops” comics, with some great examples!
