No, Tycho doesn't. Or, at least not unless DJ Coffman (winner of the Platinum Studios Comic Book Challenge (a very dubious "win," that)) puts his hand up Tycho's ass and makes his mouth move.

Over at Comixpedia, in a completely unnecessary (but fun) post in response to Lisa Jonte's "How to Impress an Editor," DJ says:

"'Ever since Tycho brought it up at SDCC, I'm still wondering if GIRL-A-MATIC is a machine that produces girls automatically. And if so, is there a switch or something to calculate the "BITCH" level??
You guys will be RICH if there is!'"

I'll say again I don't think DJ could've dropped Tycho's name with a bigger thud. That was a thud that could've shaken the slab foundation of my house.
When pressed by Joey Manley, DJ admitted that Tycho had said at a CCI panel that GAM sounded like a machine that made girls, and the addition of the bit about "BITCH" was DJ's own.

I met Tycho, nee' Jerry Holkins, at CCI last year, and found him quite nice, and not at all like the sort of guy who'd want so badly to impress his constituency with how harrrrd he is, and how they're all being put down by teh wimmins, that he'd imply that GAM is some sort of bitch machine.
That implication was, in fact, entirely DJ's invention.

What's funny about DJ putting his foot in it here is his art for this month's Comixpedia depicts a guy sleeping in a hammock with a nearby sign that says, "NO DRAMA."

My response to DJ:

"No Drama" Except for DJ

It was set to 15, and recalibrated to 11 after I was produced.
I don't think you could've dropped Tycho's name with a bigger thud, DJ, and speaking of: does he know you drop his name in vain?

DJ's well-thought-out response to me:

Efh off-- I wasn't "dropping

Efh off-- I wasn't "dropping his name" -- he said that on a panel discussion in front of a packed room of people. So, instead of stealing the joke, because I thought it was funny, I thought I'd give a tip of the hat to where it came from.
If I really wanted to drop his name, I'd say JERRY HOLKINS IS MY NEW BEST INTERNET FRIEND.
Now, run along and play dressup and pretend to be a REAL editor of any kind, and pretend VERY hard that it actually matters to the world.

"Play dressup." Oh, DJ, that is the saddest li'l insult ever. And if you said, "Jerry Holkins is my best new internet friend," most people would look at you and say, "Who?"

Pay attention DJ, and anyone else who decides to level "bitch" at a woman speaking her mind: it doesn't hurt if she's not afraid of it, and the kind of woman you generally seem to need to throw that insult at is more than capable of handling it. That goes double for "play dressup" and "pretend VERY hard it actually matters."
What I know is if this is how people behave, I'm doing the right thing.

And to think, I almost got through Tuesday without a Stupid Christmas!
