Harassers don’t hibernate!

January 7, 2011 By HKearl

I love Twitter! Via @FatSocialWorker, I was directed to this gem, a winter street harassment comic strip by Meredith Gran of Octopus Pie.

She writes, “New York is a city that never shuts down, and the lechers are no exception. In my time away from the city I’d forgotten just how persistent they are, even in the coldest weather. Those brave souls.”
