Superstitions, will they ever cease? I don't think so.

Awesome! It's like the individuals who believed that the earth was the center of the galaxy and got thrown in prison.

Of course, I believe the comic was actually intended to illustrate a reductio ad absurdum argument against what is all too often said to members of the LGBTQ community. My heart grieves for my maimed and murdered friends, so I tend to focus on the L-handed part and ignore the subtext.

This is seriously a thing? In the context of people alive today, this is a thing!? I can see Middle Ages and all, but people in 2018 believe this shit?

I love this. I am left handed and in junior high we had a weekly class in penmanship. My teacher tried desperately to make me a right and when it didn't work she flunked me. I was a straight A student and that damned teacher screwed with my GPA

Very apropos as May 17 is coming up. It's a funny strip yet it's sad because it's such a contemporary refrain.

You should have heard the cursive writing presenter whose workshop I attended only about 10 years ago. When someone asked about teaching left-handed students, the presenter went off the deep end, going on and on about Satanic influences and demonic possession. She was even more hysterical about ambidexterity.

Even in modern times, nuns have been known to crack the knuckles of kids who dare to write left-handed.
