I Love the artwork and the cover.

I HATE the subjects. Sesame Street folks have said over and over they are not gay. By people doing this they risk alienating people who support SS which is a marvelous program for children. So unless the folks at SS have said something recently, the guys aren’t gay and this just looks to the crazy right wing like those on the left trying to “make” everyone gay or accepting.

I agree 100%.

So maybe a helpful alternative suggestion, as opposed to another rant?

Charlie, what are you going on about? Rant? I wasn’t ranting at ALL. I really don’t see how you could even take it that way.

It’s too late to change it now, so an alternative suggestion isn’t helpful. But to willingly put characters in the owners and creators have said are basically asexual is poor judgement period.
