Let's Play Duck Duck Oil Sands

 


Kate Beaton's graphic memoir Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands is heavy viscous stuff . . . I get into it in my new episode of We Defy Augury-- the gist is that if you reverse the male fantasy of being stranded with a large group of bored and sex-starved women, if you reverse that ratio and make it fifty men to every woman, it becomes Kate Beaton's nightmare.

i found myself listening to this and imagining professor g truck trying to walk on a metaphorical balance beam as he explored the male fantasy/female horror show dichotomy. still trying to figure out if he stuck the landing.

it's a tough topic but i think I'm uniquely qualified to walk that beam! i work with a bunch of women . . .
