This strip accompanied an article of the same name about Chicago-area female stand-up comedians in the fourth issue of PISTIL (“The Game,” Fall 2004).
The strip stems from something comedian Jean Villepique says within the article: “I think being a white male is the hardest thing in comedy now. If you’re gay or black or a woman, you can get away with a hell of a lot more. If you’re a white guy right now, you can’t make fun of anything.”
