Comics - Responding To Sexism

Comics - Responding To Sexism

I understand trying to make comics female friendly, but aren't you guys worried that you're going to lose your core audience which is male? In the X-books you've had more focus on the likes on these females like jean and kitty while it should be Cyclops who has been the star of the X-Men comics for years. What warrants these characters more page time than him? Jean and kitty are secondary characters. You guys listen too much to women bitching. They cause so much freakin drama in comicdom. -Anon




Wow.  you are the first person who I am kind of glad asked your question anonymously because I don’t want to know you.
As a reader of my work I want you to listen to me very carefully: you have major major issues. almost every line of your question reeks of complete misunderstanding of yourself as a man and of women in general.
It’s okay to find yourself more interested in something than others, of course it is,  it’s okay to like Cyclops more than Jean Grey, but for you to draw the line at women characters not being interesting to you because you are a man or that you think I am being manipulated by some bitching women is really out there.
And as a reader of the X-Men whose entire philosophy is about tolerance and understanding… you are missing the point.

Art - Hobbes and Bacon

I just had to share these the other day, because they are so wonderfully beautiful.  I'm a sucker for nostalgia, but it tugs at my childhood heart strings something fierce...they don't teach you a lot in school about character or growing up, but these hit the spot wonderfully.

Comics - Camp Weedonwancha

Comics - Camp Weedonwancha

I'm not really sure why, but the newest Camp Weedonwancha comic for yesterday really struck a chord with me.  I was thinking about it for a while all day today, even tweeted creator Katie Rice about it and expressed my admiration.

You can see it here.

It took me a little bit, but I think I understand why now.  It's a laugh, a poop joke, and then something serene and beautiful to balance it all out.

Maybe that's a metaphor for our lives.
