Calling yourself a feminist doesn’t make you an extremist. It’s a cultural misunderstanding, and it’s prevalent enough that the general public shuns the term. It has a nasty reputation for extremism, for anger and vitriol towards… well, everyone. So, nobody wants to be a feminist. They’re not like those women. They’re normal people, for goodness sakes! Do they believe in equality for...

beatonna:
And so with those immortal Bill and Ted words:
Today I was sad to see comics posted without credit somewhere for the millionth time, and aired my frustration on twitter.

But anyway, like all...
Lynne Yoshii draws great DC women
dcwomenkickingass:
It sometimes takes me awhile to realize that the same fantastic art that I am seeing over and over again on Tumblr is coming from the same artist. But the lastest piece by Lynne Yoshii made me go through her DeviantArt account and, eureka!, here’s a great aspiring comic book artist who draws women really, really well. Sexy and well proportioned! Powerful in action and standing...

When do I hate being freelance?
joannaestep:
When I can never turn down jobs, no matter how shitty, because I get stuck in the mentality of “I can’t turn down any work or I’ll die”.
When I end up grossly overworked because of that mentality.
When I want to bite the head off of anyone or anything that even comes close to suggesting that I sit around eating bonbons all day instead of working a REAL JOB like they do.
When one...

beckycloonan:
Martyn Pedler over interviewed myself and Box Brown about self-publishing over at Bookslut the other day! Check it out! “Wolves” possesses an economy that makes it feel substantial rather than like shorthand. Telling a werewolf story means Cloonan doesn’t have to explain the genre rules that seeped into popular culture long ago; the black, white, and gray art uses simple...
