A sad comment on life these days, when a little girl has to watch out for people who “might” hurt her as opposed to being sweet and trusting.There is nothing new under the sun tho, and things were worse at times too. Like burning teenagers for being witches.Most teen girls are so moody and drama prone that it’s a wonder that practice stopped.Or else they were poor old ladies who were widows with only few rotted teeth left, who needed cataract surgery, were hunchbacked with a life of hard work, teeth, who fed the 900 village cats.
These days, we recognize that a woman of any age has every right to determine who does and does not touch her.
Little girls who are in command of their own bodies become women who don’t just smile who someone touches her against her wishes or without permission. We need more of this!
Well, maybe it’s both a sad and happy comment. Yes, nowadays women need to be careful about things like who they trust and where they are, but we’re also realizing that women are independent and strong. I personally like to believe that this strip is supposed to be joyous instead of dark, but I also think it’s up to interpretation, just like many of Christopher’s comics.
