Super Frat Crossover with Dick Masterson!
“The story was inspired by Dick’s recent visit to Ryesmore University,” says Lambda Sigma Rho biographer, Tony DiGerolamo. “The boys had lost a keg of beer and Dick helped them find it, so we decided to do a detective story. Turns out the keg rolled into a local sorority’s shower. Took forever to get it out.”
Using his chauvinist detective powers, Dick Masterson helps Super Frat when they are framed for a campus prank.
“Young men today need a role model that understands the inferiority of women,” said Masterson. “As that role model, I travel from town to town spreading my vision of a Utopia where men can watch football in peace, the ‘friend zone’ is a thing of the past, and the highest career aspiration any woman can achieve is as a headlining stripper.”
The Super Frat/Dick Masterson Crossover begins in October. Visit Super Frat at www.superfrat.com and visit Dick Masterson at www.menarebetterthanwomen.com.
