There has always been flirting, girl friends, and romance in comics since the 30s.
However in this case they have taken someone who had a wife and kids and rewritten him as a homosexual adding explicit sex as well. Which the fans rejected.
The funny thing for me is that this character’s weakness to his ring was ...get this... “wood”. The jokes write themselves.
The real funny thing is libs think comic books sill influence the culture.
Explicit sex? Does his boyfriend give him oral sex? Does the comic have an X rating on the cover?
