February 22, 2013 - Technically Star's actions constitute sexual assault. I can make excuses for it. Such as establishing a past history between Val and Star, and putting body language cues in panel 3 that Star misinterpretted (neither of which were present in Audi's prom ad). But none of that makes it okay. I'll probably discuss this a bit more when I get to Val's reaction next week, but I may just brush it off with the Charles Barkley mantra that "[Star] is not a role model." Maybe I'll do both.

We shall see.
