Get ready for the future

Captain Mushroom: We tried out a chair in London. You sat down on it, and it would conform to the shape of your body and then squeeze, slowly and gently. The chair would actually give you a hug.

Me: It'll be so awesome when we can replace human emotions with robots.

Hey how did Gaybortion get its name? (Sit by the fire, children, and we will now hear the story of how Gaybortion got its name.)

If I recall (this being some time ago), it was the height of the period in which many of us enjoyed trolling conservatism, which largely consisted, then and now, of flamewars about gay marriage and abortion. Accordingly, someone came up with the brilliant idea of making a post with as few words as possible that would cause conservatives to lose their shit and have a 300-comment flamewar.

After some discussion, someone (I forget who) whittled the hypothetical post down to a single word: GAYBORTION.

When it came time to name the comic, I took a poll of all the various names I liked. "Gaybortion!" was actually tied with "That's Not Funny, My Friend Died That Way," but since my friend had just died, I went with "Gaybortion!"
