BeckysWeb Wilfully Betrays the Public Trust
Well, what are the chances? The votes to decide the ending of Tranny and TV are in and - after weighting the votes using a very complicated algorithm that takes into account that I wrote all three endings and didn't want to waste one - every option got exactly the same number of votes!
Well, you asked for it, so here it is. Three possible endings to the "TV Goes to Prison" saga. Sit back and enjoy. And don't say I didn't warn you about the pun. And I I think actually after this I really do need to get out more.
The Typical Transvestite Behaviour Ending
The Incredibly Bad Pun Ending
The TV Actually Goes to Prison Ending
Tune in next time when TV finds religion! No, really.

(word verfication is syncest, which sounds like something that would get you in prison with TV) -
Pandora Caitiff Oh dear! I actually laughed at the pun ending. There's no hope for me ;)
-
Lara Tyg I can not expresso my reactions over such a pun. :O)
-
Gordon Yeah. thanks for that.
Was eating my cereal whilst reading this, now have bits of Shreddies lodge in my keyboard (hadn't heard the Poker Face joke..).
I LIKED the pun ending too!
My word verification was "bonas" which... again... *snigger* -
Clair Long live the pun!
-
Becky >hadn't heard the poker face joke
Oh that bit was all my own work. I just borrowed the "Lady Aga" bit :-)
My validation is succur, definitely a theme emerging. -
Alli' Cat' Ha, ha, ha!
Three T & TV 'toons in one post - RESULT!
So now I think you should run a poll to determine which ending was the best. The "Typical Transvestite Behaviour Ending" gets my vote, though in truth I laughed / groaned / enjoyed them all.
Thanks. -
Gabriela Julie Budd That pun was so bad it was brilliant! It will survive in the anals of time.
xx -
Calie You really have out done yourself on this one, Becky. Absolute genius. This is the reason I keep coming back to your site! Well done and hilarious!
-
OMG that pun ending was bad. Only I laughed. A lot.
There is no hope for me
(my verification is mushrof. I'm not sure what that is but it could make a nice sauce)

Flat Out my long day ahead seems suddenly a little shorter and brighter - back of the net

Gabriela Julie Budd Don't ever stop doing your cartoons!
x -
Lara Tyg Do we deserve this Pun-ishment?
Probably.
Keep making us smile :O) -
Alli' Cat' So how come the shafts of light behind Tranny in cell three change direction? Eh? EH??
Apart from that slight visual confusion - :-D (as usual). -
Becky Maybe Tranny moved position? Or are radios inanimate in your world??
-
Kat I literally laughed out loud, bravo....
And as for media exposure, I'll raise you a radio interview with my old Cosmopolitan profile.. ner, ner...

Jenny Harvey I find it all very hard to believe.
After all, New Jobs! What on earth are they. -
Excellent! When is the book coming out?
-
[rich] LOL! Very funny.
-
Alli' Cat' Love it.
:-D -
alan The frightening picture of my Dad...oh well!
:o)
Thanks for the smile!
alan -
Rob Hilarious, good job!

nursemyra haha... that's fantastic

Becky Now, many of you may think that one of the characters in this strip is basically me. But you'd be wrong. I'm the other one. ;-)
-
Jenny Harvey No, surely you are the other one, errr hang on which did I think in the first place. Go on then you are both.... or neither.
Anyway Tranny and TV are hilarious as usual. I just hope that Next and Top Shop survive long enough not to oudate the post! -
Lynn Jones Ah, Tranny and TV. Nothing compares :)
-
Jane I so know which one is you!
-
Scarlet Traces funny as always, but really i don't think you'll ever top the tranny-sore-arse-rex punchline :)
-
I still haven't forgiven you for "The Cowardly Iron".
-
Kristina R "The Cowardly Iron" was the work of genius!
-
Andrea S Yeah, the "Cowardly Iron" gets my vote too. Sheer genius.
-
LucyTolliday Definately worth an arf and lol.
Had a similar idea this afternoon for a tele show, just working out my pitch to bbc3, failing that Living.

Miss K groan
-
Alli' Cat' You're going to hell. :-D
-
Joanna ouch
-
sim urg, expect a visit from some hired goons for that joke.
(I was kind of hoping when TV made a come it would be as the new Doctor Who, instead we got Dr Geller , Tsk.) -
Kristina R ditto!
-
sophie h Whah whah whaaaaaaaah. :oD
(oh dear, down to my level of humour there Becky.) -
Clair The pun should be more highly regarded as an art form.
That one however, was worse than most. ;) -
Lynn Jones Bring on the Dad jokes :-D
As opposed to the diplo-bloke-us who does no nesting, but plenty of eating?

Jane Cheers from the rafters
-
alan May the Holidays and the New Year bring you the smiles and joy your words brought me a few minutes ago as I read them elsewhere!
Thank you for them!
alan -
Kristina R Applause!
-
Jenny Harvey Tranny would make an excellent Queens Speech on christmas day. I may even watch then
-
the radio speaks the truth! yay! ( and applause )
happy christmas :) -
Penny M Right then, anyone for Midnight Mass tonight? Put on your shortest skirt and highest heels and drop in on the hate factory.
-
Alli' Cat' Well said!
And the very best of wishes to you all. -
Vanessa Merry Christmas! :)
-
Penny Clare Merry Christmas indeed.
Let's remember that not all religious people are bigoted. Our local church has a curate who lives openly with another man. Nobody turns a hair - perhaps because he is the nicest person you could wish to meet.
Mind, I think it sad that the commentators defend the Pope by describing him as an academic. Out of touch, yes. And he wears a frock. 8-)

Lara Tyg :O) , made me grin and far less obscure than my stange attempts.
Glad to see T & TV back again. -
Pandora Caitiff I believe it is customary to offer a wry smile, and say "I see what you did there."
Nicely observed. -
Actually I think the correct internets version is: I C WHAT U DID THAR!
Preferably superimposed on a picture of a cat. -
steph_angel :-)
I'm a bit miffed at the lack of Venn diagrams though :-( -
sophie h Now being an innocent country girl, I have absolutely no Idea what you are on about Becky. (honest). :o)

Lauren Close Fab.
Of course, the solution is to alphabetise the CDs into the socks on the shelf while dressed.
That'll show that cheeky Breville! -
sophie h Is this perhaps a stifled cry to your tranny friends to come round and help with the diy and household chores?
Or perhaps an attempt to stop people pestering you to post some new pics of yourself.
:o) -
Ellie Cartwright That's TV's best entrance yet.
"Aloha."
Inspired.
I always knew that Tranny was a stickler for Elvis Costello. -
i thought i was tranny satan!
…
now i'm confused… -
Suomy Nona "Aloha" means hello /and/ goodbye, you know. If tranny needs some 'quality time', I mean...

The History of Tranny and TV
The Tranny and TV strip that appears on this blog is, of course, only the latest incarnation of the much-loved comedy duo. Trannies throughout the decades have laughed along at the exploits of the transgendered radio and his gender-confused television friend. Lets look back at the history of Tranny and TV, in a little feature I like to call "The History of Tranny and TV".
The History of Tranny and TV
Tranny's first recorded appearance was in the ground-breaking animated short "Tugboat Tranny", which was the first Flash-animated tranny cartoon skit, way back in 1915. Unfortunately no recordings still exist of this skit, as many Flash animations were wiped in the early 21st Century to be re-used for Vodafone banner ads.
Cel from the first appearance of Tranny, 1928
While Tranny was earning a name for himself in animated shorts, TV was still very much a stage-based actor. His 1920 performance of Piglet, Princess of Denmark, is still seen to this day as the definitive rendition of the greatest tranny play Shakespeare never actually wrote.
Ironically, TV's rising star in the theatre was stalled by the invention of his namesake, television. When asked about the new broadcasting miracle that was ruining his career, TV was characteristically stoical. "I always wondered what my aerial was for," he is reported to have said.
It was on a tour of the US that TV first met Tranny, and a life-long friendship was forged. They started perfoming together in burlesque, and were soon spotted by Hollywood.
Titles from Tranny and TV's first on-screen collaboration
Tranny and TV's early Hollywood films would be unrecognisable to someone more used to their more recent work. Their on-screen characters were almost the reverse to what they are now, with Tranny portraying the bumbling simpleton and TV his brash, overbearing (but only slightly more intelligent) partner. Audiences rolled about in the aisles whenever TV uttered his immortal catch phrase "And that's yet another awkward situation into which you've placed us, Tranny!"
Both Tranny and TV saw active service in WWII, TV entertained the troops (on radio and in person) with his bawdy semi-naked drag act, earning the nickname "The Forces' Sweetmeat". Meanwhile Tranny earned his wings as an RAF pilot, and even had time to make the classic transgender-interest movie "I was a Wireless War Bride".
The Fifties were a difficult time for the pair. For the first time the British Housewife could have appliances (albeit non-transgendered appliances) in her own home, and Tranny and TV no longer held the caché they once enjoyed.
"Four Trannies", Warhol, 1966
They fell off the radar for a decade, re-emerging in the most unlikely of places, as members of Andy Warhol's retinue of bohemian eccentrics and muses, known as "The Factory". Warhol actually used Tranny in some of his best known work, but TV tended to just lounge about eating crisps.
"TV Feeling A Bit Peaky", Peter Hujar, 1968
In the Seventies they went their separate ways again. TV decided briefly to go "full time", and after extensive reconstructive surgery (and panel beating) actually managed to convince everyone he was a genuine woman. This peaked with a part as a Bond Girl in the film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". However he was ignominiously outed by a British tabloid, and after a period in hiding re-emerged once again as a regular TV in the early eighties.
News of the World Headline, 1970
In 1992 the BBC were looking for a new show to plug the gap in their children's TV schedule between "Cities of Gold" and "Neighbors". Tranny and TV pitched an idea for a show featuring two aging Northern transvestites who move furniture about and act like children, "but not in a creepy way", as TV put it! Thus "TrannyVision" was born, which kept the money flowing in throughout the Nineties.
TrannyVision titles, 1996
In 2005 retirement beckoned, until a third-rate tranny blogger ran out of real things to talk about and decided to fill her blog with made-up nonsense. Tranny and TV were once again in demand!
Thus we come to the end of the story so far for the Bakelite Boy-Babes, who knows what the next century will bring? I'll let Tranny answer that question himself!
"Who bloody cares!?"

To you? To me? Perchance? :) -
sophie h and here was me hoping this was a chuckle bros free zone.
well there goes the neighbourhood.

Luis Drayton Wicked! Especially dug the Peter Hujar/Candy D pic... :)

Suomy Nona One of our leading transgendered philosophers (Joanna) once said...
"I fucking hate the Chuckle Brothers."
I second that emotion. -
I'm sure I've seen more of Tranny on BBC2 - Tranny and Susanna, cross dressing the nation?
-
Alli' Cat' Yay - more Tranny and TV tomfoolery! It's about bloody time!!! :-D
@anonymous: Damn you - I wanted to make that gag! -
How long in Photoshop? :)
-
Suomy Nona Tranny was also something of a psychic, given that the transistor wasn't invented until 1947.
God, I'm such a killjoy. -
Claudia suomy - yes, but who do you think the transistor was named after? eh? eh?

Brilliant! :)

Alli' Cat' Works for me! :-D

Like the nod to Spock's eyebrows.

Becky I was actually going for his ears, Vic, but eyebrows works too. :)
-
Sukislut Just discovered this from a link on TVChix. Superb!
There was me thinking Kings Lynn was just a dull provincial Norfolk market town with absolutely nothing of interest to trannies - and I discover you're there! ;-)
Please let there be more 'TV and Tranny'(cos I've bookmarked you now)
SukiSlut
(Many peeps ask how I came up with such an awe-inspiringly original name. Easy: I got it off a toilet wall.) -
Oh dear. I think it must be me: I stumble across something really sharp, witty and clever on t'interweb thingy - and it promptly ceases!
Same thing happened when I came upon Venus Envy.
I am cursed! Or a curse...
Sadly Suki

steph_angel No no no no no............... Oh please God don't let her utter THOSE words!!!
Nice to see THIS return though :-) -
Pandora Caitiff *applause*
Very clever. -
John Very witty... really enjoyed this
-
LucyTolliday Very good. As a newbie to the strip I wondered what the earlier post was about.
-
Nice to see iron getting a plug and letting off steam. I'm sure iron will smoothen things out and that tranny will get attuned to her. Or maybe tranny's not on the same wavelength ... [Editor's note: that enough appalling puns for one day, or at least for one post].
Seriously though, I'm a relative newbie (an RN for short) to this wonderful blog and I really enjoyed this cartoon strip. -
becca Nice, though I had to look up "bovvered"...that one hasn't (yet?) crossed the pond.
-
Is Iron the new Poochie? Could this be the episode where T&T jumped the shark? Stay tuned...
-
Alli' Cat' Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the complete lack of offence given by your latest cartoon. If standards continue to fall... Oh wait...
"Iron"...
"Iron-hoof"...
...
In that case, I am writing to complain about the appalling proof-reading exhibited by frame two of your latest cartoon. If standards continue to fall etc, etc.
Yours,
'Angry' of Liverpool. -
Lynn Jones So Iron is 'full time'? Not a true TV replacement then :D
Funny as soon as you'd written 'side kick' I starting thinking Dr Who. Spooky! -
Penny M Lynn, you are very qick on the uptake! I didn't get it until the last frame - at which point Trannie seemed to develop a Scottish accent for some reason :-?
-
Rachel I 'got it' halfway through Panel 4, so I'm relatively slow on the uptake. This despite the fact that the only purpose to today is killing time until 6:20pm and then monitor various forums afterwards to read the whingeing :-)

Dan Jolly good!
-
Pandora Caitiff If its just an elaborate April Fools gag, I'm driving up there to deliver a slap! :)
-
Kris We have to wait 'til August?!
-
Becky T Hurray! Were they simply on sabbatical?
-
Tranny And TV - The Movie?
-
More eagerly anticipated than the Iron Man movie!
-
Jessica Hart Oh good, I was thinking the other day how I'd missed them. Withdrawal symptoms I guess... you know, foaming at the mouth, shivering, irrational behaviour. Or is that normal for a t-girl?
-
Oh fantastic!
I presume the writers strike had a part to play in the delay? -
Alli' Cat' Yaaaaaaaay!
(In case you're in any doubt, I thoroughly approve of the return of T & TV)

Penny M Becky, are you suggesting that we are all friends of Trannothy?
-
steph_angel Did somebody mention Lost??? :-D
Can you not present your wedding speech as Tranny & TV? It would be very entertaining ;-) -
Becky: "Hello. I'm a Becky*"
Jane: "And I'm a Jane."
.

Sounds like fun.

Jessica Hart Thanks for indulging me. ;-)
The pleasure was all ours, honestly... -

-
Alli' Cat' Hmmm, so a sparkly knob is the sign of "a gayer"; what about glitter-balls?
I'll get me coat. -
Mariana Genius! :)
-
Apparently "breastage" is not a legal word in Facebook Scrabble.
-
If only it was that easy, looking back it was a struggle and I loved almost every second. Life got dull when I got my GRC!
-
Joanna Follow the Slippery Slope....
Sunday, September 09, 2007
-
Alli' Cat' You just can't have too many 'knob' gags!
-
Pandora Caitiff Cowardly Iron? Fantastic! I look forward to many more appalling puns.
-
Jane This is just an excuse for having a blog post titled "Knob" isn't it? ;-)

Miss K ooh. a multi part story. Hope it's as good as Last of the Time Lords!
-
Alli' Cat' OMG - Cliffhanger! :-O
-
Pandora Caitiff Hmmm... gingham appliances eh? I think I see where this is going. Bravo! Carry on.

Selina I read Playboy for the same reason I read National Geographic - they're both full of colour pictures of interesting places I'm never likely to visit.
-
Selina
Loved your comment - tears are streaming down my face.
Paula -
Rats! how much were my mint condition Exchange and Mart collection from the early 1980s worth on the appliance porn market? I just recycled the whole collection, hate to think of them ending under the kittylitter somewhere.
Carla T. -
Miss K I LIKE KNOBS!!
*cough*
I'll fetch my coat -
Alli' Cat' Like Miss K (apparently) I've spent the past couple of days trying to come up with a witty comment; and failing miserably :-D
So you'll have to make do with: This is a very funny cartoon. -
Becky And I was SOOO careful not to use that gag. :-)
-
Alli' Cat' By the way, has the title of this post done anything to your 'hit count'?
-
Becky Heh, yeah, amazingly no-one ever considered using "porn" as a title before. I've cornered the market. ;-)

Nicely done. And quite topical :) -

Too true Bex. I've gone back to being a stage one tranny. Or ex-tranny. Errr...something.
-
Joanna Stage 5.5 Introspection / OverAnalysis
-
Siobhan Stage 7: ???
Stage 8: Profit! -
I call myself "a recovering tranny". 3 years, 1 month, 4 days since I last wore a dress.
(waits for a small round of applause and a "way to go, dude")
I got an urge to wear a skirt last week, but I phoned Craig (formerly Phyllis) and we went and watched "Where Eagles Dare" instead; The urge went and was replaced by a desire to dress up as a member of the Wehrmacht. -
Lynn Jones It's funny 'cos it's true. :)
Many 5, some lapses into 4.
Ahhh... Where Eagles Dare. Quality. -
Siobhan > Or ex-tranny. Errr...something.
Serena, I think the word you're after is "muggle" -
@ Siobhan - Hmmm more of a Schrodingers Tranny, i.e. "Is a tranny who has purged, a tranny or a non-tranny"
Or is it more of a Zen thing? -
Oops. Forgot to put my name against it.
-
Stage one's looking kind of appealing right now.
-
Connie Cox Wohoo I have been round once. do I get £200?

Pandora Caitiff I feel a quote from Back to the Future II is appropriate here:
"I foresee two possibilities. One, coming face to face with herself 30 years older would put her into shock and she would simply pass out. Or two, the encounter could create a time paradox, the results of which could start a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space time continuum, and destroy the entire universe! Granted, that's a worse case scenario. The destruction might in fact be very localized, limited to our own galaxy." -
Joanna Less the Trousers of time... and more the pantyhose of time?
-
Lara Tyg I knew this was coming....I visited myself last year.
You see I laugh in the face of time paradox as well as along with TV :O) -
Selina The trouble is, everyone peceives time to be moving in a straight line whereas, in fact, it is completely bent.
-
Stephanie Delacey Time is gay? Oh, I knew it...
-
Gillian Am I the only one who thought it was about farting after eating prawns? just realised it's a Dr Who based gag.

Miss K This one pushed so many buttons for me that I'm beginning to think I'm actually an appliance myself
-
Jessica Hart You have a certain wry, evil genius. This is pithy on oh so many levels...

Chrissy J. " ... ... kinda"
**sniggering loud enough to wake the dead...**
Love it love it love it!
Especially since you were kind enough to explain the origin to it last weekend... -

Gordon KADUMTSSHHHHH
Hmmm do cartoons need a 'rimshot' (for that is it's technical name, honest, I know it sounds dirty but it's not.. well it might be in another context, in fact it might be quite fun in another context but.. where was I? Ohh yes, trapped in these paranet... pareneth.. brackets). -
Alli' Cat' Arf, Arf! :-D
-
*small voice*
... but I don't even have a tiara... -
Becky Relax Isobel, that wasn't "inspired" by you. :-)
TV isn't ever one individual, I see him more as an gestalt of all transvestites. A quasi-platonic ideal of the tranny-in-the-street.
Tranny is basically me... of course. ;-) -
So you've said before.
I'll laugh as much about my own absurdities as I would about the truth lurking in your humour. -
Great! As usual. And you used the word gestalt. Awesome. I have a professor who's in love with the concept.
-
Tiffy Be careful - gestalt is not all it's made up to be.
Brill strip as ever.

Alli' Cat' Way off the mark.
I've seen her...
Thinking about it, everybody's seen her... 'credentials'!
Wouldn't you just love to see her finally emerge covered in prison tat's? The woman is a waste of carbon! -
Carolyn Ann Maybe she'll be as "tasteful" as Martha?..
Well, let's hope not. :-)
(Although it's possible they may become friends: they now have something in common.)
Carolyn Ann -
She's worse than a waste of carbon. That will get recycled. She's a waste of entropy. We've only got so much of that before everything stops and we all die.
-
Becky "everybody's seen her credentials!"
Faked! :-) -
Siobhan /applause :D
-
Penny M Hmm, PH a tranny? I think I'm going to change my name to Swindon Travelodge
-
Miss K "Swindon Travelodge "
lol.
I refer you to the second link in this post for further corrobotration. -
I have a friend who was London Marriott for a drag show once. Brilliant.
-
Flat Out Im in ur blogz, LMFAO
-
"Swindon Travelodge" lol - nearly spat out my coffee.

Joanna why has the post op got a willy?
-
Siobhan Might I casually point out that the photographic evidence points to that not being a post-op? ;)
(Love it!) -
Siobhan Damm. Jo got there before me
-
steph_angel Is post-op a tea-urn???
-
Carolyn Ann F to M antique washing machine...
Carolyn Ann -
Mariana That is freakin' brilliant!
-
Alli' Cat' After I'd stopped laughing (and decided 'post' was a washing-machine and not a mangle) the opening line from the song "Let's face the music and dance" popped into my head. Anybody else...?
.
.

I think this is one of the best ones yet! Tranny stereotypes are the greatest for snide humor!

Carolyn Ann Well, I still had to look up the model: the Desmosedici.

Carolyn Ann I asked my wife this evening about looking at my, er "the", Ducati Monster as art... She agreed it was beautiful, but still says "no" to putting it in the Living Room. Or the Hall. And the bedroom's on the 2nd floor, so I'd have to build a ramp. :-(

April Angell hmmmm...
not sure about this one. I'm trying not to get on my high horse here but perpetuating the myth that "stay in the closet or get beaten up" (in addition to "bragging twats who go on about where they have been look stupid") doesnt do anyone any good and just isn't funny. Methinks someone needs to get out more.
Perhaps I should just refer to a conversation I had with a friend (who is a stage manager at "non tranny" events) who told me that he was delighted that people like me came to his events as his aim is "to create environments where people can feel free to express themselves" - and if thats not what being a tranny is about then I dont know what is...
And thats similar to what I try to do with my website - is to show that there ARE environments which aren't tranny clubs where you can go out and have fun.
And if anybody wants to know where they are - just keep a regular eye on my website - www.kissmypanties.com - I'm always posting news about wheres good to go in London! -
Becky I'm not 'perpetuating the myth that "stay in the closet or get beaten up" '. I'm suggesting that if you go to a Nazi rally in an active volcano you might just get beaten up. And a bit melted. The humour isn't in the fact they push the envelope and get punished for it, it's in the fact that they try and top each other to such a ridiculous degree.
"Methinks someone needs to get out more."
Methinks somebody needs to find a sense of humour. ;-) -
Siobhan Well I thought it was very funny - especially how Tranny refuses to give up in the last panel. Very Pythonesque :)
-
Essentially it's "Four Yorkshiremen" in drag meets "This Bloke Come Up To Me" by Derek and Clive....in drag.

Lynn Jones lol. You overhear it in bars, special interest groups and meetings at work. It's a man thing.
"Yeah, well I'm using a hand coded kernel beacuse the ones off the main source branch just..."

Alli' Cat' Dear Becky,
I am writing to complain about the fact that, so far, none of these cartoons have offended me.

Kobayashi Maru
The story so far: Tranny is a transistor radio with a penchant for dressing up in women's clothing. TV is his erstwhile (and currentwhile) companion, who also enjoys cross-dressing. Although we never actually see them wearing dresses, we just kind of assume it all goes on in the gaps between the strips.
Together they explore the gamut of transgendered experience (through the medium of sarcasm) and fight international organised crime (again mainly between-strip).
In the last thrill-packed episode they decided to test whether a television can exist in a simultaneous transvestite and non-transvestite state by putting TV in a box. With a cat. For some reason.
Now read on...

Simon...
Were you were trying to make a valid point about the difficulties of finding out that a frock, trowel of foundation and tool chest of lippy didn't answer your questions about your gender anymore? Or were you just bashing ts's again in witty cartoon form? It does seem strange, almost ironic really that a man that wears womens clothes questions another person for wanting to be a woman full time. Even more so when you have friends dealing with these issues.
Picasso said "Every act of creation is first an act of destruction."...
Simon...Our distinguished spokesman...in fact most of you...I leave you with this question...When did you pick up the hammer?
and no...we are not scared...we don't paint at the weekend...we paint every day...
Love, Peace and Respect...
Pia. -
It depends how you look at the cartoon. You *could* say that it's a satire of non-TS folk being drawn into a world that they don't really belong in (see 2nd to last frame) and not being able to admit it to themselves or otherwise.
-
Becky "Were you were trying to make a valid point about..."
No, I wasn't trying to make a point about that, valid or otherwise. How did you get that from the strip?
"Or were you just bashing ts's again in witty cartoon form?"
No, in as much as the TV character is pretty much established as a rather stupid transvestite, and the Tranny character is also a transvestite who does rather stupid things sometimes. So I don't specialise in bashing T-Esses, I try to be a bit more even handed. Most of "Tranny and TV" is "bashing", to use your word, Transvestites.
But I don't see it as "bashing", any more than Peanuts bashes small children or Andy Capp bashes the working class male (not for a moment am I comparing my piddly strip with those works), but the point is the same. Comedy, be it in cartoon form or whatever, is about pointing out the idiosyncrasies of a group or situation and making fun of it.
Perhaps if you could give specific examples of how this strip or anything I've written "bashes" TSs, I can address them.
"It does seem strange, almost ironic really that a man that wears womens clothes questions another person for wanting to be a woman full time. Even more so when you have friends dealing with these issues."
I do have friends who are dealing with these issues. And, in my own small way, I've dealt with these issues myself. Nowhere have I questioned the fact that someone might want to be a woman full time.
I might question how they go about it because gender reassignment as you well know is not something that can be taken lightly. It deeply affects a person's relationships, and permanently changes their body. Calling hormones "sweeties" (as I've heard TG people do in the past), and promoting ways to short-cut what should be a properly controlled process is damaging and dangerous, and I feel strongly about that.
"When did you pick up the hammer?"
I'll take that to mean "when did you start making fun of T-esses?"
The same time I started making fun of Transvestites, and all the other types of trans-people. It's part of what I do.
If you don't like it, then you don't have to read it. But you're not going to stop me. -
I think any mature community should have the ability to laugh at itself from time to time. And that goes for the TG community as well.
-
I thought there was a clue in the title; and an even bigger one in frame four.
Unless I've totally missed the point - and it's really about confectionery!!! In which case, as a confectionery lover: <rant> £**$@@!! </rant> -
"I might question how they go about it"
Does that mean I can question how you comment on that?
"I feel strongly about that...And, in my own small way, I've dealt with these issues myself.... Nowhere have I questioned the fact that someone might want to be a woman full time. "
I'll take that to mean that at no point have you actually questioned what it may be like to live full time. Why then would your opinion would be at all valid? You have no real knowledge of your chosen subject and seem to show no intention to learn about it further.
"When did you pick up the hammer?"
I'll take that to mean "when did you start making fun of T-esses?"
No... I actually meant when you got a spine...to try to follow your name sake 'en Verite' which is some nod at you trying to educate us/yourself? to deconstruct the old Simon and to recreate a simon/becky hybrid that was less of a hypocrite...to look for the truth...to look for the light...that which is beyond gender...?
Having a website for your female alter ego is actually you trying to make a point? Hey I identify with the Female gender...I'm expressing a new area of my male role....Non?
So, If you weren't making any point-valid or otherwise...why fucking bother? why not call it bex-lite...because it has no real valid content?
"If you don't like it, then you don't have to read it."
"Specific examples"
I won't even bother trying to explain to you as obviuosly you are not whom you claim to be...not someone 'en verite' but a man in a dress as you so obviously are...however..I'll take Kats lead when she says..."I'm sure you won't even get a barrage of TS harumpfs, as your diatribes have no doubt scared them away..."
And no...I don't like it...so I don't read it...but it's nice to have an opinion sometimes,
wouldn't you agree... -
Tiffany I think somebody needs some humor replacement therapy...funny is funny.
-
Becky T You know, I didn't see this edition of Tranny and TV as being TS-bashing. It is however a realistic, albeit simplified, portrayal of the approach of one notable professional, and the impact that's had on a number of his patients. I didn't actually laugh out loud at the cartoon this time because I happen to have spent the last few years doing things the jumping-through-hoops way and while there are certain advantages to some in early prescription - ways in which I too would have benefitted - I also don't happen to think it's a good way to proceed.
It's a pity though that some people are so wrapped up in being offended that they miss the intended send-up. -
Kat said ...I'm sure you won't even get a barrage of TS harumpfs, as your diatribes have no doubt scared them away!
Well, I'm still here, and am not harumpfing! TBH, this blog is increasingly a pleasant refuge from some of the more, umm, 'ardcore (you know the score) TS sites.
Kat, I even agree with you here: Keep up the good work...
And I'm staying well away from that debate up there ^ (gestures vaguely towards ceiling)...
Thank you Becky for Tranny & TV. And all the other stuff, of course (she adds hastily) -
Becky No, thank you. And you, Becky T. :-)
I really didn't want to scare away any T-esses from this blog, and I'm really glad you're staying. -
Pia addressing Becky by her alternative moniker is the height of disrespect and very rude I feel. Also, surely the cartoon mocks the clinical approach of a certain physician, not TS's in general.
-
Tranny and TV remind me of the old Smith and Jones talking heads routines (one knows nothing and the other thinks they know stuff but in reality knows nothing) and you can't say that they're doing a savage indictment of East End men.

Young scallywags
Been tinkering with this all week, but it doesn't quite work in the way I wanted it to. The "joke" is that young trannies, when given an opportunity to dress up, always make a load more effort than they need to.
Either that or they're too afraid to be seen to be making effort and therefore read as a tranny that they avoid getting into the situation completely.
And also I feel like I'm doing halloween to death now.
Meh. Anyway, I like TV's costume. And the gag in the first frame; which no-one will get.
Labels: trannyandtv

Pandora Caitiff Hmmm. Yes, fear of trying too hard. This is why I used a cheap jokeshop wig this year even though I was wearing a leatherette nurses outfit and had size 11 heels on!

Can I ask is it an age thing (or is it just me?) but am I the only one who really doesn't see the point of yahoo 360 and myspace?

Buy Saucy Minx on eBay!!!
These are getting WAY surreal now :D -
Becky What's so surreal about a television having an inflatible radio as an imaginary sex partner?
... oh ...
I'm on a downward spiral, aren't I? :-/ -
Zaida Angel Surreal == Awesome, in my opinion.
-
Siobhan Curran That digital camera is HAWT
-
Me likey - lots!
-
Natalie OMG. The Mac commercial with the Japanese girl is the best one. And now you've ripped off it and used an inflatible radio in the same line of thought.....
That's bloody brilliant! -
nick cute and funny, and a little bit sexy.

-
Joggerblogger :-D funny!
-
April Angell yes this is very good
-
Nice one - But I'll never see my toaster in quite the same light!

Miss K ARF!!!
-
jessica_sweet_tv_mx So now Wicca has replaced Kabalah as the fashionable thing to be
-
Tiffany Ha, that was like my whole 8th-grade year. Whatever that translates to in England.
-
Dana X Wicca? Fashionable? Did I fall into a time warp and end up in 1996 again?
-
Charlee Brown ROFL!
When I was born, I was a witch, my grandma told me so.
When I was 12, I rebelled and went to church. When I was 13 they did the "gays are bad" sermon, and I walked out.
When I was 13, I re-donned my goth clothes, and called myself a witch again. I was happy.
When I was 18 someone told me I was Wiccan. I went along with that.
Last year I looked up what Wicca is really about. I'm not Wiccan. I'm pagan, but I'm still a witch, and happy with it. -
sim I do like these.
Wicca chair, isnt that the head of the withes parish committee? -
My parents said to me when I was a child, "son, we've had to make a lot of sacrifices for you over the years", but then again, they are Wiccans.

Pesky lowercase
Okay, that's the last one for a while, promise. It's just that that one's been finished and burning a hole in my hard drive over the weekend, so I had to post it.
Let me know if you'd like more. (Read: "I'm pathetic and need constant positive feedback.")
:-)

Jane Bravo, Bravo, more more!
I would definately like to see more of them as you know cos I also snorted my tea over your lap top when I read this. -
Charlee Brown I want more, more more more, delivered daily into my inbox, or as an rss feed if absolutely necessary.
-
Kris You need constant positive feedback? Well why didn't you say so?
Je le dig. -
Joanna great stuff.... more more!
-
Pete Johns LOL, ROTFL, PMSL, MFI, ATS, SOS, etc..
-
Cathii Scott HD curious
Bwahahahahaha, love it! -
Miss K One a week please, as is the webcomic idiom!
-
Siobhan Curran Oh that's (↑) rich, coming from you :-p
I've been waiting a year for you to finish Askance Glance
(But I concur - more please!) -
Natalie Yes! Yes! More! These amuse me so. I even have non-trans friends who love these!
-
Zaida Angel Fabulous! Excellent! moar plz!
I would really like to see the tranny doing something funny too...
and a RSS feed is an very good idea, and once a week if at all possible, and i would like fries with that too. -
Kate Weston encore!
Bravo!
author, author!
Becky bites ya leg!
more please
There's your positive feedback, now get writing dammit! -
Emily S Loved it!! Encore!!!!
-
Becky Aw, shucks. :-)
It's so nice to get such unsolicited praise.
;-) -
Connie Cox I agree with the other comments.
Think I need to nip into Currys and ask about the HD curious tv's :-) -
sim Love the series, yes more please. Im curious to see just how many puns you can extract.
...and if its praise you covet,
Well if you were a puppy we would all rub your belly. -
boring!
-
Becky You cut me to the quick, anonymous!
Then again, a lot of your poems are shit, so who are you to judge? -
Kath Adams Becky, they are fantastic! I love them, please keep them coming. I know all good comedy should end on a high, like Faulty Towers or Police Squad. I'm even slightly hoping there isn't a series three of The Green Wing, 'cause it's so good... but...
I'm sure you can keep going for a bit longer!??
And funny is better than contentious! ;-) -
Gordon HA! HD-Curious. Genius.
I think it depends on which facsia they have... no... the size of the aerial... no... this is harder than it looks! -
Valerie S The world is waiting for more! You are modern time Mozart! Wait Mozart didn't do painting.. You are modern time Leonardo!
Once a month maybe? -
Nice one Becky - love 'em!
I actually saw one of those TV's once (can't remember where; a 'junk shop' maybe) and thought it a wonderful piece of kit. I love it when someone designs the 'thingy of the future' and you look at it, a decade or two later, and think, "Nope - but it bloody-well should have been!"

sim Erm, TV often recieve a dodgy signal, now they're broardcasting them !
-
fairly-odd The quickest way into a TV's pants is through the zener diode.

Jessica You know the tilt shift trick is to give the illusion of a wide depth of field, but the tilt shift lens itself is only the effect of a width depth of field. By tilting the focal plane so it's out of line with what you are viewing, the object or scene is only in focus where it intersects with the focal plane. You can't actually create that depth of field without having your lens a very long way from the camera, the cam has to be scaled up as you want your scene to appear scaled down. I reckon it'd be possible to take a number of images of a scene from slightly different angles, like a stereo image, then use that to calculate and simulate the lens blur perfectly. So you could make really complicated scenes look like tiny models.... this is what happens when I sit in drinking beer on my own!
-
Miss K her ankles are a dead giveaway.
More please! -
Siobhan Curran That is how you use touché. Hmm
-
Becky Jessica: it's my medical opinion you should drink less beer and smoke more pot.
-
Becky Siobhan: Yeah, TV's not stupid. :-)
-
Joanna Is it just me or does that image not appear in IE6?
Works in Firefox... but I see nothing in IE... -
Beki I can't see anything :0(
-
Becky Should work okay now! :-)
But really, who uses IE6 these days? ;-) -
Joanna touché
-
Isobel Someone's been reading too much Dumas, or watching too much Tom & Jerry.... I haven't quite decided which, yet.
-
Becky Isobel, I'm shocked that you don't know me well enough to know which.
I adore Dumas. I still know all the words to the Dogtanian song! -
Isobel Oh, that's alright then.
Unless you know the words in their original Klingon...

Touché
After talking to a couple of people, I think that the source material I pastiched in my previous post isn't as well-known as I thought it was.
It's based on Apple's current TV advertising campaign, featuring an anthropomorphized Mac and PC discussing their relative merits. They're wonderfully funny ads, not least because they're so outrageously biased towards Mac.
They actually backfire slightly, because if you're like me you'll end up liking the bumbling but well-meaning PC character more than the slick but slightly cocky Mac character.
The PC is played by John Hodgman, who's is also a regular contributor to The Daily Show as the "resident expert". In fact, in tonight's episode (on More4) he was hilariously cornered into saying his "I'm a PC" line while explaining how a two-tier Internet would work.
The Mac is played by Justin Long, who'll I'll always think of as the fanboy nerd in one of my fave films, Galaxy Quest (best line: "Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!").

Mr.Troglodyte Nice ad. But I tried getting my Mac to talk and it didnt.
-
I'm not sure that's the right use of 'Touche'.........
-
Becky @Anonymous: Touché! :-)
-
Siobhan Curran @Mr. Troglodyte. Macs have been able to talk (and listen) since the early nineties...
If yours isn't, it must just be down about something and having a sulk -
laptop battery thanks a lot
-
Jane snigger.
-
Joanna Nice one ;-)
-
Siobhan Curran ROTF!
*applause* -
Becky Heheh, you know when you set you target audience a bit too narrow?
My target audience for this was "30-something apple fan trannies called Siobhan". :-)
I might do a series of these though. It was fun.
(For the record, there's no intended implication that transvestites who call themselves "TV" are dumber than the ones that call themselves "tranny", that's just the way it worked best. And why am I bothering to worry about this stuff?) -
Joanna I'm looking forward to the one where the obviously real DAB radio insists she's actually a tranny....
;-) -
Jessica I take it you weren't in work today
-
Becky That? Lunchtime job! It's hardly rocket surgery. :-)
-
Connie Cox Perhaps the next one should have a CD.....player? :-)
-
Ian Betteridge heh heh! Next Transpocalyse, you should do a video of this in the style of the Apple ads. It'll be BRILLIANT!!!!
-
sim *Grins
Very sweet,
(Cartooning at lunch time though, tut tut .You wouldn't catch me being so trivial.) -
Miss K BRAVO!!
-
Mr.Troglodyte He he :)
