See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

I think that what’s really happening there is that women in history or literature are often presented to us as sort of second-tier importance. We hear less about them, we study them less, representations of women are likely to be “less” somehow. So in the comics, I often pit them against this positioning in history, looking for justice or something like that. Finding comedy in the imbalance that is apparent to us as modern readers. Then I think they are often looking exasperated by the men around them, not because the men are bad, but because the men have always been presented to us as more important, and then in the comic, they play into that, and the woman has just had it.

Brennan and I will be at SPX this weekend! We’re selling Strong Female Protagonist books and t-shirts! 

I’m also debuting a little zine, Witches Who Sing, about musicians who I think are secretly witches, I made some cute (very limited edition) pocket mirrors, and I’ll have my latest minicomic, 4 Stories About Girls and Magic. I’ll also have my sexy minicomic, Queens of the Steppe, but you gotta ask me for it specially. Think of it as a tumblr-followers-only special menu item.

Hm, everything I make is kind of on one theme…

Anyway, come say hi to us at table B6B! I’ll also be on a panel on Saturday!

OH MY GOD

“Co-created and co-written by a trans woman, directed by a trans woman, starring two trans women and with other trans women on the crew, the upcoming webseries Her Story is poised to be one of the most authentic onscreen depictions of trans women ever. “

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS

Read this interview. It’s a wonderful, interesting, articulate interview (thank you meyllenpage). Then also check out their indiegogo to help them cover post production costs. Then hype it up on social media so we can get this produced for real! We have a chance this time, to not just decry the type of media that doesn’t represent trans women well, but to support and make happen the kind of media that will!

OMH MY GOD OH MYG OD JUST JUST JSUST support this and spread it around
