superior-taste: dollypops: cerebus92: What happen when Pepper Ann tries to buy a comic book? omg dude this was in the 90s and this bs is still so relevant. pepper ann knew what was up. Actually, the rest of the comic shows that Pepper Ann was just being paranoid and the guys were accepting of her, which is much closer to reality.

Well, I guess that makes this conversation really awkward for Dolly…

I actually had this comic (I was subscribed to Disney Adventures at the time). It’s unbelievably cringe-worthy to read.

Here’s what happens: one of Pepper Ann’s friends is reading a comic and ends up accidentally losing it. She finds it and starts reading, thinking comic books are stupid, and gets engrossed in it. She wants to go in that store to get the next issue, but then the above page happens, so she gets so afraid that she disguises herself underneath a bunch of layers to pass off as a guy and buy it.

The climax is easily the most cringe-worthy part: a little girl goes up to the counter to buy a comic she wanted, Pepper Ann makes this overblown reactionary rant to stand up for the girl by revealing herself and then leaves… only for it to turn out that not only did nobody in the comic store mind she was a girl, the little girl she stood up for was THE CASHIER’S LITTLE SISTER and thought Pepper Ann was fucking weird!

Pepper Ann: showing social justice before social justice was an actual thing.
