Not to be a wet blanket, but you should probably include a link to the original of this comic.
Also, having it on your Flickr photostream is not permitted by the author of Natalie Dee.
Sorry for lecturing. If you already have consent from Natalie then feel free to completely ignore me.
Recently saw The Daring Book for Girls, and was quite pleased that they didn’t make the cover pink — it’s a nice bold turquoise blue.
That’s by cartoonist Natalie Dee – you should probably credit her!

Whoops, Kal beat me too it. Sorry for what looks like a pile on!
Thanks all, fixed!
I think she(?) forfeit her right to pink tools when she decided to wear blue? :) Speaking of “wearing”, why are they wearing a scarf across their nose, I thought at first that they were supposed to be some weird-ass surgeon!
That’s her mouth.
That’s her mouth! I recommend going through most of Natalie Dee’s comics, as they are incredibly funny. She also does Married to the Sea with her SO.
Girly-looking tools don’t get stolen as often.
Also, according to the millwrights I work with, the whole Leatherman Juice collection is girly (and very functional, well made etc.). It’s not all about the pink.
Only a man who is secure in his self can use pink tools. No pink tools yet, but I do wear pink shirts.
As a carpenter and hobby/necessity care tinkerer, I can tell you with a certainty that pink tools are not only stupid, but any tools that have that “made for teh girls” marker on them are invariably cheap crap, which just adds to the insult, “Oh they’re chicks, they don’t need no quality anyhow, go call China.”
care=car
I think I will now go hug my toolbox. I would hug my dad, who taught me to use everything in it (and would have taught me more about powertools than I know had I not had vast paranoia about slicing off my fingers), but he’s 3,000 miles away. So my bright yellow toolbox with the plain black-and-wood tools, lovingly prepared by Dad years ago as his contribution to “send the kid off to college” is gonna get hugged. :)
Kate,
Understand your sentiments about pink items usually end up being cheap crap, but was this bit really necessary?
