bearded Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 In the comic Secret Asian Man by Tak Toyoshima, the main character has a best friend called Charles 'Charlie' Rutherford, who is described as being 'possibly asexual'http://www.comics.com/comics/sam/html/cast_sam.html2014 Mod Edit: The above link doesn't work anymore, but the page can be found here. For future reference: SAMCartoonist Osamu “SAM” Takahashi dreams of hitting the big time. A second generation Japanese American who grew up in a city surrounded by people from all walks of life, SAM is fascinated by what makes us the same as well as different.Marie CampanaMarie is SAM’s anchor – his supporting, loving, independent and organized wife. Always up for a challenge, Marie embraces new things, new technologies, new foods, travel and unusual experiences. She writes and edits children’s books.ShintaroSAM and Marie’s young son. He’s three years old, multiracial and sharp as a tack. When Shin sees something, he tells it like it is. He is currently obsessed with trains and Broadway show tunes.Charles “Charlie” RutherfordA bear-like guy with a heart of gold who is SAM’s best friend. A nostalgic and sometimes emotional animal aficionado, he is intelligent and well-read. He studies black history but hates hip hop. He is possibly asexual and makes no attempt at pursuing romantic relationships.Richie "Moswen" CleaverRichie, the one white guy at the Million Man March, has legally added the African name “Moswen” as his middle name. (The name was given to him by a prankster from Botswana who told him it means “deliverer of justice.” It actually means “light in color.”) Though well meaning, Richie comes across as patronizing and insensitive. He is Shin’s pre-school teacher.Grace PattersonHyperkinetic Grace is chock full of AZN Pryde. A college student deeply involved with the Asian community, she is very successful at getting people motivated and organized. Grace is strong, opinionated and honest. She is success driven and doesn’t take insults from anybody. Adopted by white Christian parents, Grace is NOT submissive and WILL NOT love you long time. She frequents the same weekly Asian American cultural meetings as SAM. Link to post Share on other sites
ThePieMaker Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Awesome! :aven: Yay for visibility! On an unrelated note, I know a secret Asian man. He's a quarter Korean, but you'd never know it as he looks totally Irish; red hair, green eyes, pale skin. 'Tis a mystery. Link to post Share on other sites
