Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Tim was cartoonishly flawed- the way he treated everyone was awful, even after all that character growth. His kids. His wife. Al. Even his wisdom-dispensing neighbor.
Most of the wisdom that was dispensed was forgotten by the next episode.
Which, I think might just have been the actor’s fault more recently he was on another show my parents tried to get me to start watching and I had to walk out of the room- the sexism was that bad.
But it was the 90’s and sexist pigs was one of the only typecasting for male leads in sitcoms. Of the ones I watched, I think fraiser was the only one that wasn’t…. But that was a gay comedy…
(Don’t judge I was in middle school, I wasn’t the one picking the shows.)
Since when is Frasier gay? Sophistication isn't gay, despite having some overlap.
The show. Not the character

It was understated, and another way to say it better might be “gay comedy for straight people”, but a fairly large number of the writers and characters were openly lgbtq.
Maybe the show just wasn’t dicks to lgbtq, but it was the 90’s and that’s remarkable enough. It’s been a while, maybe I should watch it again.
