While forced to admit that I haven't been able to track down a meaning for patishe

Um, helps if I spell it correctly: a 'pastiche' is a picture or musical composition made up of pieces from established works or a story written in the style of a well-know author and I kind of blend to two meanings here to say that comics have their "gay batman" types but no original gay characters as the central character in their own books. At least so far.
