Among other things, the characters appealed to me because they could be loosely classified as "women of colour" doing impressive things, so I thought they might be good for Liz's self-esteem. (If anyone here doesn't know, her dad was Nigerian and I'm mostly white with a few drops of Mohawk.) Liz also loved the Sailor Moon comic books, which could only be found in one store, and they cost $2.50 Canadian apiece, which was a lot to pay for such a thing at the time. I bought her several. I read somewhere, years later, that Sailor Moon originated as Japanese porn! If so, the series must have changed quite a bit to appeal to a different audience.

They especially liked the lesbian subtext. (They liked some of the openly gay male anime even better, and dabbled in writing/drawing anime fan fiction.) I don't know what the kids these days fixate on, except that my ten-year-old granddaughter is all about Minecraft. No sexual subtext there yet, as far as I can tell.

He was an off-beat take on 'Mr. Rogers', but steeped in double-entendres with an adult bite. We swore he had to be smoking pot, because his humor seemed to hit the nail on the head. We'd toke up and laugh our asses off.Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-41138337206861005432016-05-12T08:28:21.839-04:002016-05-12T08:28:21.839-04:00Wow, do I feel culturally illiterate.
