Kurt Busiek: When (white) women run the world, fishnet stockings will be part of the standard military uniform.

A shocking look at the future!

—by John Broome, Bob Oksner and Bernard Sachs, 1952

When (white) women run the world, fishnet stockings will be part of the standard military uniform.

Not to worry, it all works out in the end...

[Stella, has it happens, is an experienced rocket captain, and Dexter's former commanding officer.]

I can HEAR the contempt

I mean, fuck, they conquered the galaxy dude

I guess the flying war dicks of death were already on their way to their intended conquest targets of their own accord and only at the LAST minute did a bunch of giggling women jump on to claim credit. But the war was of course almost lost as they wasted time looking for the hair dryer

sorry, I meant to say(clears throat) "a bunch of giggling (gags, long pause) WOMEN" ;)

Gosh, Stella's such a good sport in these last couple of panels. What a swell dame.

Love how he learned nothing from being pushed down but to do the exact same thing to someone else.

Couldn't QUITE get the idea that it wasn't an either/or situation.

Whew!

For some reason, I get the feeling those electro-blasts hurt like mensural cramps which explains this scene perfectly. Also, why doesn't HE have the fishnets on? Isn't that out of uniform? Tsk tsk!

It's to show off his shapely boy legs for a cheap thrill.

Ah, good point.

This, of course, is how women took over- men were immobilized by the army of fishnets.

But the two genders are still "girls" and "men."

Or at least girls/women and men. Dexter is never called a "boy," even though the story would read better, even for what it's trying to do, if he was.

White women or me? Because when I rule the world that's definitely happening. Fishnets for everyone. Yes, everyone. (They'll be part of the physical enhancement nanomachine inductive charging system. External charging keeps the grey goo away.)

I hope Space Cadet Greg Dexter was put on report for not wearing his fishnets that day

Aside from the colors, he seems to be wearing a different uniform than the gals — different shorts, tunic, shoes, different rank markings, or whatever they are. I’m not sure he’s even allowed to wear girl uniform. Maybe it’s against regs.

Maybe they never designed one to fit a man, like spacesuits.

I bet he’s not wearing the regulation underwear.

Call the Pant Inspector!

IT'S NOT FAIR, THEY'RE BETTER AT THIS THAN ME
