Wikipedia Ponders Its Gender-Skewed Contributions... →
Polinarchy pointed me to this, and it is most certainly relevant to my wiki adventures.
The number one reason why I launched my own Women in Comics wiki, rather than focusing on building up their presence on Wikipedia, is because I had dealt with those neckbeards on WikiProject Comics before.
A few years ago, I was first branching out into the comics blogosphere (at the same time as my feminism...

I have been a fan of Lucy’s since she was still an undergrad at the Art Institute of Chicago and we crossed paths in the LiveJournal fandoms of Oscar Wilde and Jeeves & Wooster where she would post drawings and comics of those chaps (she also wrote some of...

Update on Social Responsibility/Liberal Guilt →
bwhahahabeck:
ladiesmakingcomics:
I’ve been going back and forth about this all month, and I feel like the only way to address it is to get some opinions from the audience.
I’ve been at this blog for almost three months now. In that time, I have profiled 11 women, 10.5 of them have been white (Marjorie Liu being the half-Asian)….
Personally, I feel these creators should be integrated along...

adventuresofcomicbookgirl:
And good stuff.
Like, Steph, she is such a feminist and so strong and calls out sexism and doesn’t let anyone screw with her, but yet she gets compared to Bella Swan.
And then these totally inspiring books that have heavy feminist themes and exploration of alternative sexuality and examination of historical society and heavy, correct use of mythology get compared to...

The DC of Letter Columns Past...
Since DC has brought back letter columns (and Tumblr is talking about that today), I figure it’s time to post this letter column excerpt that I’ve had in my drafts for a while.
I was leafing through my longboxes and I pulled out the 1993 Zatanna miniseries, written by Lee Marrs and edited by Kim Yale (this was also under Jenette Kahn’s watch as President and EiC). In the...

Found this randomly searching a tag. So far it’s the first thing to make me want to see the movie. I (and my dislike of Gambit) am that hopeless.
backforeverything:
So.
Did anyone else notice Pietro in X-Men Origins: Wolverine?
And.
I must say.
He better be in The Avengers when they make the movie.
If anyone can find an image of this cameo, you’ll have saved me two hours and...

The first round of the Ladies Making Comics is over! Some results I pretty much expected, but there were definitely some surprises.

Yep, Gail won, but Marjorie had a strong early lead— I think I figured out who my Tumblr-addict followers prefer!

This one was tight! Amy Reeder beat Nicola Scott by 12 votes....

some classic quotes attributed to men were actually said by women.
Whoa. Some of these I knew were misattributed, some I had no idea. (And for anyone not sure if they should bother clicking the link: some of these are seriously famous quotes. For example, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”)
