Very much a stab at the series ‘On The Buses’. Whilst the term ‘clippy’ is said to be a general nickname for a conductor, watching that series would lead you to believe it only applied to female conductors with incredibly short skirts and tight fitting jackets. On a whole though, that’s the least of the series worries in this day and age. Although I can accept it as different opinions of the times, the attitudes of the scripts really haven’t aged well.
Case in point: The series spawned three movies. The first of which revolves around the depo taking on female drivers, with the male drivers outraged (declaring women can’t do men’s jobs several times) and trying everything to get them fired, and they succeed! (Kind of)
It’s probably no suprise that it’s used in Social Studies classes as a prime example of sexism in media. By all means it does have some good comedy in it, occasionally, but it is somewhat marred by it’s attitudes.
Naturally, when you write a few comic ideas with bus ponies some people will automatically think of it.

Still very much a ‘work in progress’ style wise with regards to what has weighted lines or not. Even then, it’s only planned for a series involving these specific characters, if it ever does come to fruition ;)
Thanks for the explanation. I’d never heard of that show.
Huzzah, I have helped Bob with his pone stuff.

Just curious, is “StarTrixBurst” your main comic topic?
