Handbags and Men

Happy Thursdays everyone! How was your Christmas holidays? Not enough? Don't worry New Year holidays are coming up next. All the more reason to get jiggy on.

I have no idea what that means.

So about a month ago, the issue of men and handbags came up for a bit over the social media. The guys from Bolehland mentioned about it in one of their strips before so it reminded me of an incident where the bros also encountered a somewhat similar situation hence today's strip.

I had this story in the script bank for quite a long while back and only now I finally come around to draw about it.

Here is the bro's take on handbags and men.

No offence to anyone who thinks otherwise but the bros seriously think men shouldn't be carrying their women's handbags. I personally find it degrading and emasculating to the man. Ladies, you shouldn't go out of your way just to have your men carry your handbags for you. I know some of you might think it's sweet and it shows how much the guy loves and respects you for doing such a thing for you which you think it's nice. I don't think it's right. I believe if a guy gets forced to carry handbags even for a bit, he dies a little inside as on the outside he becomes less macho with the leather product slung over his crestfallen shoulders. If girls are obsessed about handbags they should really carry it themselves.

Besides, remember what the government says about guys carrying handbags? I'm sure you do because it was big news and we had the whole world laughing at us.

Despite Jon getting a knock on the head, the couple went like this after that.

I pity the guy.

Just to be clear; shopping bags are okay just not the particular one which contain your purse, keys, chapstick, knicknacks, pepper spray and a brick (maybe). You should know which bag I am referring to by now. No, the brick inside doesn't make your bag any more manly for a guy to hold.

I might receive a lot of flak from the female readers after this.

Maybe that is a good thing. At least the women will pay attention to me for five minutes for once today.

Anyway before signing off, I have an announcement to make.
