But why is she pissing?

Let's get to the nitty-gritty about this comic that seems to kick most people about the teeth:

micturation = pissing.

Ergo, the title of this comic is The Pissing Angel.

BUT WHYYYYYY?!!!

Truth be told the title came to me years ago, when I made the original booklet this series is sort of based on (see blog post HERE ).

It just jumped into my head. I just like the sound of it. I don't even know where I learned the damn word and that's important to mention: English is a second language to me, I learnt it when I came to Australia in 1986. I was 11.

There are words I like in English purely for the sound of it, and I guess "micturating" / "micturation" is one. If you think about it, it's a wonderfully 'hard' word, a lot of consonants for an action involving fluids, ie: softs. The word almost doesn't fit, at least "piss" sounds like the deed.

Next. I grew up around hospitals/ medical equipment, so I dig medical terms.

Next. No I don't get off on chicks pissing.

Next. Pissing Angels are actually quiet common in Europe (where I'm from). You'll see them weeing in fountains, as little statues at home, as soda water dispensers, etc. My grandparents had one and I was very intrigued by the concept of a cherub/ angel (a supposedly holy critter) taking a piss - something seen as "rude"/ vulgar - yet this was supposed to be an object of humour!

" I'ma put muh dik on yo' drinkin' water!"

It's important to realise that this comic is not to be taken seriously, btw, or not TOO seriously.

Lastly, as explained in Issue #1: there's the religious connection with blood, blood-letting, blood-sacrifice, blood of Christ, bleeding Christ (in some depictions he looks like he's pissing from his ribs, hahaha!), and so on. Our Angel uses second-hand blood, ie: piss to baptise or whatever it is she uses it for.

It's important for her to do this as she is The Outsider and therefore must shock. She can not make friends with "nice", but must rock their world in order to open their eyes.

And if I offended you, oh I'm sorry...

But maybe you need to be offended

But here's my apology and one more thing...fuck you!

"Can't Bring Me Down" - Suicidal Tendencies

And so on and so forth.

Any questions?
