DC Comics Listens to Batgirl, Makes Changes →
ladiesmakingcomics:
…I also have been told that certain female-focussed projects previously mothballed have now been revived and a numbr of female creators contacted as a direct result of the events at the panels of San Diego Comic Con, and Kyrax2′s repeated intervention.
Hooray! I can’t wait to see what gets announced, and who is working on them! But it’s up to all of us who care about gender...
therobotmonster asked: Do the mermaids have to be based on contemporary sea animals? What about the plesiosaur or the opabinia?
anderjak asked: Are you having trouble with the fuzziness or inconsistency of PS's brushes? Are there any other programs you utilize in case PS is being a PoS?

lynchianbedhead asked: You should make one of those scary angler fish into a mermaid. If anyone could do it, it'd be you.

That awkward moment when you meet your...
It was okay, though, because he is a really super awesome guy and the coolest grandpa in the entire world, and also he writes some pretty racy stuff of his own so I feel better that he might have seen my awful Doctor Who erotic fanfiction.
GIRL COMICS FOR GIRLS - For GROWN'D UPS
kateordie:
It’s no secret that I likes me some smutty art. I do! I’m always impressed by it and I think it’s healthy for girls to admit these types of things, ‘cause it can get real frowned upon. So, without further ado, some comic and graphic novels for ADULTS ONLY. All of them are NSFW, so kiddies, wait for the next post!
…Not that you’re going to listen to that anyway, but I do have to say...

acertaindarkthing asked: I don't know if you follow harry potter, but clandestine always reminded me of luna lovegood, just some food for thought.
eruditedancer asked: i recently unfollowed someone on twitter, @markleggett, because he said the following thing:
"More women should write mainstream comics. I want to read stories where Batman can't fight crime because of his cramps and red puffy eyes."
i just stared at it for a while. he might have been joking, but it sure as shit wasn't funny. i don't need...

– Answering Dan DiDio: The Problem With Having Only 1% Female Creators at DC Comics by Laura Hudson (via ladiesmakingcomics)
moustachioed asked you: I ask this in open...
A good question!
It is INCREDIBLY hard to do that. I mean, heck, that’s what I’ve been trying to do for a decade, and I’m so far from being DC. I don’t have the ability to promote and draw an audience like DC can. Womanthology has done amazingly well getting readers and backing for their all-female project, and Filthy Figments has been doing excellently at the...

I've heard about how hostile DC was at SDCC to...
Voting with your wallet doesn’t just mean not buying bad titles, but making sure to pick up the good titles. Drops in readership of bad titles can mean all sorts of things, and if they have a drop in readership across the board, they won’t make the connection to the issues that are causing the drop. If they see all their female-driven titles rise dramatically in readership, while the...
An Interview with the Batgirl of the SDCC panels
dcwomenkickingass:
There were lots of stories that came out of SDCC this year, but the one that has caught the attention of the comics community was a woman who dressed up as Batgirl to ask questions about female characters and creators at several DC Comics’ panels. I first became aware of her questions while following the live feeds of Newsarama and CBR. If you read this blog you know I have...
my keyboard is broken so sorry if i accidentally...
come home, computer is all messed up :(

Thank you for making these wonderful comics! What...
*sigh* People ask me if they can do translations, and I always give them instructions for how to do it, including 1: you can’t be making money off it or claiming it as your own, and 2: you have to send me a link to it so I know where they are. NOBODY has ever sent me a link to a translation they did. I guess I assumed they got distracted and never followed through with the translation, but...

5hnissugah asked: Lion-attack plans? Did that have anything to do with watching Jumanji? :P
unicornsandrattlesnakes asked: I've gone on at least 6 planes a year since I was only a few months old, and I've never quite gotten over the anxiety. I've gotten really good at forcing myself asleep as soon as I get on the plane so if you can pull that off it may help.
meanderingwhales asked: Re: the plane problem: I ride trains a lot. Of course, you might be going over the ocean for all I know. :P
I actually run scenarios in my head about what I...
I ran scenarios about what I’d do if my house burned, and that came in handy. I wanna be prepared for lion attacks.
I was a girl scout as a child. The best one.
thedoorkeep asked: Your coloring is absolutely inspiring to me.

fishfacemonkey asked: May I just say that both your art and writing is absolutely lovely. You have actually been rather an inspiration to me as both a closeted person and an aspiring artist. Continue inspiring others, improving and learning, ~Thanks!

Me: Things I learned today: You can get your casket pulled behind a motorcycle driven by a guy in a tophat and tails. How badass is that?
Mary: THAT. RULES.
Mary: When you die, I will pull your remains with an old timey giant wheeled bicycle while wearing a Victorian dress all the way into the woods where I will feed you to wolves.
Mary: I may or may not then train these wolves in the art of comedy.
Dan: wolves and other active predators usually respond poorly to carcass meat... unless you starve them first i suppose. Just sayin.
Mary: I will tie her flesh chunks to sticks and dangle them enticingly as though they were alive, and as though the wolves were cats.
Me: Putting that in my will. Goddamn!
Guest Strips?
I probably won’t have time to get comics done for next week, since I tend to do each week’s comics the weekend before, and I’m gonna be at Comic Con. So if anyone wants to draw a guest strip for Lesbian Pirates/Meaty Yogurt, there’s a good chance I’ll post it.
you can send ‘em to megan aaaat rosalarian dot com.
tobyaudax asked: Pack whatever you want... plus a taser and/or pepper spray. :)
I am suddenly incredibly worried about packing for...
I have to find a balance between “I am not gonna let perverts keep me from dressing how I want!” and “Uuuuuugh I just don’t feel like dealing with assholes being inappropriate with me.” I hate that this is even something I have to think about. :(

dcwomenkickingass:
Something about that interview with the Advocate I posted about this morning has bothered me today and I couldn’t really get my thoughts together until now.
In regards to this statement:
One of the things we’re very focused on doing for these types of stories is rather thann [change an existing] character, we want to make sure that this is the basis of who that...
Comic Con Pervs: So why this is A Thing →
emmyc:
Everyone going to SDCC: Be vigilant! Stay safe and don’t dwell in uncomfortable situations! Always use the buddy system and don’t let anyone disrespect you! Wear shorts under skirts!!
There’s a lot of “comical” perversion in anime and pop culture media, but that doesn’t mean that it’s OK to mimic it in real life. If you hadn’t noticed, real life is not a cartoon!
No matter how someone...
