zladkohasaboaraffe asked: Thanks for your response to that ask about weight/fatphobia.
Is there something I can do to break out of the idea that I must be skinny to be loved/accepted/successful? I have this disconnect where I can see someone who would be considered 'fat' in the media and see nothing wrong with them but not the same for myself. Looking at other people, I don't judge weight/size....

Jug Band
I want to have more art in this blog, and I just found a folder full of art I never posted online before, so I’ll post one every day this week! These are from a gallery show I did last spring. I wanted to merge comics with more “fine” art, and I very much love doing ink drawings. Each piece I did was a comic panel with no context for what happens before or after. You get to...
Something I'm working on
The top to a very complicated border. I’ve put 4 hours into just the border already. Half an hour was spent trying to get that damn spiral not to be wonky!

neondye asked: And when does Fat Lady Art Week start? I'd LOVE to know.
allthempreg asked: Fat Lady Art Week? That sounds DIVINE! Ahhhhmygoodness, I'm having such a fangirl moment now. xD Gushing in glee. I can't wait! I may even join in (if you don't mind) and draw some ladies in honor of your momentous event (that sounded better in my head), seeing as I've neglected drawing them for a while (shame on me!). Yup, still fangirling. x3 <3333

allthempreg asked: I just get so happy and gleeful every time I see one of your (AMAZINGLY AWESOME) curvy girls. It makes me feel better about myself? Anytime I see something with a curvy girl now, I think of your art. This picture, in fact (nudity involved! http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfbwn15poX1qdpm3qo1_500.jpg) made me instantly think of your girls. I hope that's seen as the compliment it's...
Guys!
shouri:
I can’t draw ‘em.
I am right there with you, lady!
babyyouvebeenhad asked: Hey, sorry to bother you, but I was wondering about your tumblr background; I have the same theme on my tumblr as yours but I can't work out how to upload my own background image for it. I've checked tumblr for help already but they had nothing helpful; how did you do it?
armybratart asked: No question, just wanted to say thanks for being such an inspiration and being awesome. I hope my webcomic is half as great as MY and Yu+Me
Girlfriend to the rescue!
Somehow she got Lady Gaga tickets. Because she is the best girlfriend ever. She called me early this morning (10am is kinda early to me) to tell me. I feel like I’m on a magic carpet now. Extreme relief.
It’s Lady Gaga and the Scissor Sisters. It’s like somebody put together a show just for me, and I will be getting to see it! I’m gonna dress all fancy and dance and...
mostlygeeky asked: So, here's a question, and sorry it's a small story. My little cousin, almost 10 years old, (and her aunt) moved to the same town as my family about 2 years ago from Virginia Beach (where, if you don't know, they sort of have a similar mindset of Hollywood). I've noticed that whenever she makes an avatar or anything like that, she makes it blond-haired, tall, tan, and skinny...
Gay like a truck
Lewis: I wish you wouldn’t refer to me as “Trucker Lewis”. Me: Why not? You’re a trucker. Lewis: I’m not a trucker. Me: But you drive trucks. How are you not a trucker? Lewis: I don’t want to drive trucks. You know how there’s straight guys who do gay porn, and they don’t want people calling them gay? Me: Oooooooh! So it’s like you’re a...

New Lesbian Pirates Characters
A sneak peek for all my lovely Tumblr/Twitter followers. These are some designs for new characters in LPFOS, Holly, Dotty, and Lois. There will probably be some changes by the time we see them in the comic, but this is more or less how they’ll look.

'Steampunk Palin' Comic More Insane Than You... →
I… um… All I can say is that the Mayans were right, and we will cease to exist in 2012, because this can only signal the endtimes.
Dammit! I have an excellent idea for a comic series but I’m already doing 3. I suppose I always let my ideas simmer for a few years before doing them, but I’m so impatient! Part of me want to collaborate with another artist, but I don’t even have the time for that. I need a time machine is what I need. Or patience. Whichever is easier to give me. Probably the time machine.
Follow Friday
I want to do a “Follow Friday” for Tumblr. These people are all really cool, and you should follow them.
This week, I’m doing other webcomickers. Next week, who knows?
Elena “Yamino” Barbarich Of Sister Claire fame (pregnant nun) Alex Heberling Of Garanos and Alex’s Guide (nerds!) E.K. “Big Big Truck” Weaver Of TJ and Amal (big gay road trip)...

The process of making a Batwoman cover
dcwomenkickingass:
Last week I posted the different steps that Amy Reeder took to create her variant cover for Batwoman #1. Today, we have a look at J.H. Williams and the steps for his cover of Batwoman #1.
He starts with a sketch.

I love seeing other artists’ processes!

meganseggs asked: So, like, do you have a thing for bellies? I feel like every time we see Jackie's belly, it's lovingly-crafted squishy belly art.
loralye asked: I finished reading Yu+Me about a week ago and it's been haunting me ever since. I came across this quote in my notes and thought you might like it.

green-knickers asked: Artist trading cards are little 3.5x2.5 cards people (who like to draw) use to trade with eachothers, there's little clubs for them and stuff on deviantart, and ATC cards come in all kinds of different papers (watercolor, sketch, bristol, even canvas if you look for it!) and then you mail them out to the other person and trade. this website explains it better than i can...
lvl83reproductiveorgans asked: As a bisexual woman, I experience several questions from my straight friends about femalexfemale sex, and I was wondering what your response is to the irritating "If you use a dildo, isn't the real thing better?" question. xD I feel like perhaps I could add something to my typical repertoire of "Toys are less messy, last longer, aren't attached to people who annoy me,...
green-knickers asked: I would love to do a trade with you :3 are you doing ATCs?

Round 1 Results!
ladiesmakingcomics:
The first round of the Ladies Making Comics is over! Some results I pretty much expected, but there were definitely some surprises.
Writers: Gail Simone v. Marjorie Liu
Yep, Gail won, but Marjorie had a strong early lead— I think I figured out who my Tumblr-addict followers prefer!
Artists: Nicola Scott v. Amy Reeder
This one was tight! Amy Reeder beat Nicola Scott...
YU+ME Volume 5 Cover Art
This is my favorite cover to date. Fiona’s hair is my favorite part.
yearofpurple asked: Hi. This isn't really a question, but I've been reading your comics for a long time now. Since I was 12 or 13 really, and I'm almost 18 now. So I wanted to say thank you for posting them, especially yu+me, because I found it when I was just starting to figure myself out, and it helped a lot when things got hard or confusing. I miss it, and being weird, I actually cried when it...
Dear Tumblr
oatmeal:
If you’re going to go down, you might as well blame it on an imaginary animal like Twitter did with their infamous Fail Whale. I’ve taken the liberty of creating this animal for you:
Please use it.
Please oh please.

Tumblbeast! And The Oatmeal has a Tumblr!

“It’s like you were looking at erotic Candyland fanart when the acid kicked in.”
-Me, describing Curvy (webcomic)
This perfectly, perfectly describes Curvy. Silvan needs to quote this on the back of the next volume.

Would you rather be all-knowing or immortal?
My first instinct was immortality, but then I thought more about it.
First off, each would lead to the other. Being all-knowing means knowing how to prevent death indefinitely, while being immortal would bring one the time to come to know everything. Of course, each has different drawbacks. I like learning the old-fashioned way, so knowing everything right away would be boring. But if you know...

OMG your eargasm picture made me so happy! I'm so...
I had a dream that I had an actual vagina on the side of my head, right about at my temple. People kept walking up and poking it and I was like, “Geez! That is rude! Very rude!”

I am loving this documentary! It’s short (only 24 minutes long) but it’s a good intro to Fat Acceptance.

jetbunny:
It’s a map. Of sexuality. And you can put in pushpins to mark where you’ve been. And where you want to go.
Don’t blame me, Megan made me post it.
