I'm laughing out loud - and completely getting the point.

But some gazillionaire somewhere has probably commissioned a team of hack so-called researchers to scheme up just something like this.

The moob-reduction statistics are legitimately shocking. I have 6 dudes in my household so this has sparked a lot of controversy. Ok, I guess I sparked the controversy by telling them about it.

That’s a lot of bros! My hat tip to you if you’re the one who wrangles them all! :D

It’s so, so hypocritical that a mega church prosperity pastor can get a face lift and hair plugs…but a trans person has gender affirming care done and…oh no, let’s get political about a minority of a minority

I guess I specialize in creating & wrangling little dudes.

It seems that the gratuitous use of elective plastic surgery by mega church pastors, Trump appointees, and children with moobs is the real culture war crisis those who care about such things should be focusing on.

I would love to have been a fly on the wall during this discussion. I'm glad it caused some disruption in your 6 dude home! :D

With the exception of 1 they are all 12 & under. So it was mostly explaining what moobs are, how they’re acquired, and why they’ll be on their own to get rid of them if they do acquire them in the future. And because we’re in Maine, a rant about trans rights being under attack.

Your art and writing are epic and sadly, the hypocrisy real. How you put it all together continues to amaze me.

I was hopped up on coffee (to the point of having shaky hands) all yesterday plowing through it. I spent 2-3 days of mass revisions on bronormous and did the animationed gifs in one day. Needless to say my brain is fried today (so I spent most of it cleaning the backyard outside). Tomorrow I’ll get up and start chewing through another article (I have an idea folder that I reference a lot).

I understand that fried brain feeling. I was imagining all of the effort that went into this piece. I knew it had to be a lot. The outcome is evidence of what went into it.

Thank you. That means so much that you recognize that. It’s perplexing to work with great pride on stuff knowing it’s going to get maybe 10 seconds viewed in our goldfish attention span world. Thanks for not being a goldfish!

Having an aging male fear of the Moob, I find your cavalier slinging of the term offensive. Almost as offensive as the lack of Alpha Male support garments available.

I find it humiliating to have to spend hours going through women’s unmentionables looking for just the right item. After touching dozens of soft, frilly examples and making a total mess of the Nordstrom displays, of course.

Dude, this is howlingly funny stuff. I was expecting a much leaner article to go with the epic full page add. I’m tempted to print out a couple full pagers to leave on the appropriate coworkers’ desks.

I’m also reupping my subscription to Suppressed Men’s’ Health immediately.

Hilarious; I actually did laugh out loud. May I send those advertisements as memes to my siblings? Do you want to put a watermark on them or a total no-go?

I think the greatest honor ever would be if people thought my work was so good to snag, share it around like they “found it first” or something. I’d be so thrilled if I ever learned of that one day. (I mean then I’d sue the pants off of them of course, make a big stink on social media, become a viral hit, start selling my line of vitamin supplements :D )
