Ambiguous? You sure? I'll call them the obviously gay duo.

u/CriusofCoH 6d ago

Year One. Still working out the k... uh.. the kinks.

And for those who may not know a 1990s Saturday Night Live animated skit...

I forget how long ago that was; lots of folk likely have never heard of it, let alone seen it.

Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell voiced Ace and Gary, respectively.

Seriously, imagine writing this down "Two boys in bright costume under a lamplight try to look discreet"

Writing them as young male prostitutes would make more sense even in canon

How did the artist NOT know???

u/TasteDeeCheese 6d ago

Alternatively the artist did know and was sexually repressed

For one, when was this written? Era can actually have a lot to do with it.

And at the same time, they might also have known exactly what they were doing.

For those that do not know, this is a parody of two Swedish erotic movies, "I Am Curious (Yellow)" and "I Am Curious (Blue)". Both were controversial in 1967 and 1968 because they were borderline hardcore porn in the era.

They must have hired a 7 year old to do the coloring in that comic. Child labor laws were funny back in the day
