This strip is based on an actual experience in the beginning of my freshman year at college. I was walking alone, and was whistling Weird Al Yankovic’s “Buckingham Blues.” This guy was maybe 20 feet in front of me. He dropped his bag on the sidewalk, turned around, rushed to me, and started shoving me against my chest.
Anyhow, I was not as bold as Lenny or Bruno, and explained that I was simply whistling a song. Of course, I had never met (or realized I’d met) anyone gay at that point, and so i was mostly just flustered and confused. I wonder how I would have reacted a couple years later… Hm. Hopefully a bit better.
What struck my funny bone is that .. fishnet t? leather jacket? short bristly hair? Dude would not be out of place in a rainbow-colored night club in 2010.
Or was this true back then, too?
Lol! I would heartily agree. :)
Although, I have to admit that I don’t believe his shirt was fishnet. That’s just the crosshatching. I think it was an olive green cotton. Amazing what adrenaline does to enhance memory.
I thought the title was a bit funny. Ignoring the phrase’s homosexual context just for a moment, and imagining little whistling faeries.
@Mathalor that made me smile. :)
