The Tiger-like Lamb @sheisnobodysmeat - Tumblr Blog

One of my favorite online cartoonists, Kate Beaton (of Hark! A Vagrant), had a cartoon of hers published in The New Yorker last week! I’m very thrilled for her, and thought I’d share it here too since it’s a pretty fantastic example of her work.

These are two extraordinarily gifted thinkers engaged in a tremendously important conversation. At last, a mind came in to his field that was worthy of verbal and mental intercourse. I don’t know that sex has any place in any of this. I mean, yes he’s a man and yes she’s a woman; he’s very handsome and she’s very beautiful, but so what? These are minds at work here. There’s an eroticism in the thought process that transcends any kind of physical eroticism that might be between the two. - Jonathan Demme (Commentary)

Slams hands on the table

Clarice Starling had to put up with everyone around her being an unprofessional fucknut.

She had to smile and grit her teeth whilst people were sexist and misogynistic to her face.

The actions of her boss nearly got her kicked out of the academy and nearly killed on several occasions.

And the only people who were on her side was her room-mate and a cannibalistic serial killer
