Use of the word "fanny" automatically puts my mental image of the reviewer around the mid-late 60's.
Not that I disagree with what he has to say, mind. |

| I lol'd, because the word 'fanny' has a completely different meaning in Australia. I'd nearly forgotten. |

Yeah, same meaning here in the UK. Caused me an amusing moment of perplexity too.
Anyway, this review read very even-handedly, and I liked the rhetorical question device at the beginning. |

I looked up the overseas meaning of 'fanny' on wiki.  Weird how they're almost the opposite of each other. Then again, I've heard a certain name for [the one in front] on Squidbillies that might explain things. >.>; I'm not sure it bears repeating... |

| I have to ask the reviewer (Carl) - did you not know what the word "fanny" means in half the English speaking countries out there? I wasn't offended with your word choice, just surprised. |

 fanny is an odd choice, considering it's meaning in the UK... xD
okay, I won't buy this. Thanks for the review. |

Thank you for saving me some money. I had considered purchasing this comic until I read your review.  |
