I sometimes joke about the comics industry being a business run entirely by people who got picked on in grade school and never got over it. But this is no laughing matter. This shit needs to stop:

I really liked this piece on the influx of female creators and fans in mainstream comics:

For crying out loud. How is this even an issue? Us geeks are supposed to be the *smart*, *broad-minded* ones. What kind of heart-three-sizes-too-small Grinch do you have to be to view the influx of women into fandom as anything but awesome? Glad to see women *and* men making some noise about this issue, though.

As an artist, I always try to be aware of the distinction between "sexy" and "sexist"...I thought this was a really cogent explanation of the essential difference:

S	M	T	W	T	F	S

14	15	16	17	18	19	20
21	22	23	24	25	26	27
28	29	30	31
