it ‘n’ Kay Boodle is an odd strip. It's about a pair of foxes, the cute little cartoony sort that you'd probably see frolicking with a lost princess in a Disney movie. The key difference here, though, is that these foxes are anatomically correct. I really hate this comic. I think the artist is intentionally trying to defile all my childhood memories. And if there's one thing that I hate, it's people who crap all over my childhood. I don't think I've ever run across a cartoon that's been quite so completely obsessed with cartoon fox sex. The sex isn't what bothers me; I listed several adult cartoons in my sanguinic links section, including Flying Suit Reiko and Supermegatopia. With these cartoons, sure, there's plenty of gratuitous sex but there's other stuff as well. If you took away all the ribaldry, you'd still have some darn amusing comics. Even comics that seem to be little more than excuses to showcase bizarre fetishes - Latex Blue, comes to mind - don't annoy me like Kit'n'Kay Boodle does. It might be because Latex Blue is so gleefully over the top that it's impossible to take seriously. It's got a certain sly wink-wink-nudge-nudge humor to it that's totally lacking here. As near as I can tell, Kit 'n' Kay Boodle is deadly serious. There isn't anything remotely ironic about it. It's written entirely for people who get off on cutesy cartoon foxes with giant genitals. Or maybe I'm just dense and missing the point. That has happened before.
Anyway, I'd better just shut up and show the comics before people start sending me pissy letters. Keep in mind that this comic is way more popular than mine is, so it's not like I'm hurting him by saying this. Why, I'm probably helping him get even more hits. See what a great guy I am? I think I'll give myself a pat on the back, right now! Ahhh...
There's a lot of stuff here, but I really, really, really don't want to go through it all. Instead, I'm just going to look at this one especially stupid sequence because, honestly, too much of this and my brain will short out. I am only human, after all.
This is the only picture of Kit and Kay that I've been able to find where their frightening genitilia aren't the centerpiece of the illustration.
Part of what bugs me most about this comic is Kit’s perpetual whininess. Probably the only reason Kay’s always giving in to his advances is because it’s the only way to get this wet blanket to shut his fool mouth. As a man with an astounding 23 years experience of maleness, I think I can safely say that this doesn’t work in real life. If I tried to pull this, Dory would smack me in the head. And she has.
What is he so down about? Licking envelopes is fun! When I was a kid and the teacher was assigning jobs, the only thing better than licking envelopes was pounding the erasers. It was great; you bashed those suckers together and created this huge cloud of dust. Ah, memories. But the envelopes were just as good, because of that delicious glue taste. I still love that taste, even today after all my other inexplicable childhood preferences have vanished. I don’t eat paste anymore and gasoline doesn’t smell good anymore, but licking an envelope is still a tiny sliver of joy on an otherwise gloomy day. Nothing makes me more eager to send in my rent check every month than the opportunity to press tongue to stamp and let that glorious sweetness diffuse through my eager taste buds.
I know that every woman out there has to be cringing, thinking about papercuts.
GODDAMN, what a WHINY LITTLE BITCH. Why does she stay with this loser? Maybe she's afraid that she can't find anyone else who will accept her freaky little feet. What happened to her? She looks like a medical textbook example of Chinese foot binding.
This is honestly the stupidest thing I have seen in my entire life. To recap: who doesn't like the taste of envelope glue? Nobody, that's who. It's one of life's small pleasures - sorta like letting Elmer's glue dry on your fingers and then picking it off.
That's it. I've got nothing else to say.
UPDATE!!! I recently received a nice letter from Dragonfly of Latex Blue. Nice guy, that Dragonfly, not one to bow to the pressure of public opinion. Anyway, he offered this very astute bit of criticism of Kit 'n' Kay Boodle: "Not only is it not funny, the sex is too uncreative. It's absurdly monogamous and frigidly heterosexual." I wish I'd thought thought to say that. I mentioned this to my girlfriend and she got kinda annoyed because we're monogamous and heterosexual." But I still think it's a good quote and that's all that matters!
