And here you thought Spook was gonna save the day, didn’t you? Well, stay tuned! Spook’s in this scene…he’s just masking his thoughts.

Also: this is absolutely the worst time for me to be posting this scene. As of this writing, there have been three big gang-rape stories in the news, and they’re all horrible.

The first one had to do with a girl and her fiancé on a train in India. Six men beat them both bloody, then raped the poor girl. She died. He might’ve died, too. I don’t recall.

The second instance was in Romania, where a number of young men (aged 14 to 20) gang-raped a 14-year old girl in the home of one of the young men. They filmed the whole thing.

The third instance is the worst: A high school football team here in the US who regularly drugged teenage girls and passed them around at parties finally got caught. What was worse was that their parents were in on it, covering up for them. One of their mothers happens to be the prosecuting attorney for that town. Other adults in positions of power (both at the high school and in local law enforcement!) who should damn well know better have been covering up for these kids for years, apparently. It’s fucked.

Rape is a terrible thing. It’s also an evolutionary strategy: passing on your genes where you normally wouldn’t be able to. And, unlike what that idiot Senator said last year, a woman’s reproductive system doesn’t shut down in cases of rape. On the contrary, women (on average) become slightly more fertile right after being raped.

It’s a terrible thing! It’s also an evolutionary strategy…but it’s an obsolete strategy. There are over seven billion people on the planet, and someone, somewhere, wants to have babies with you just the way you are. There’s no need to force yourself on someone! So knock it off.

Personally, I think rapists and their outdated strategies for reproduction should be bred out of the human population. That high school football team, that gang of Romanian teens, and the six men from the train in India should all be surgically castrated: cut their balls off. Plain and simple.

On a lighter note: I haven’t drawn this much chest hair since Kiss 4K! It’s more tedious than I remember.

Anyhow…tune in next week! This scene’s almost over, and Spook makes a good entrance. Remember: this is the first time Spook and Silk meet, and they both make an impression upon the other.

See you next Wednesday!
