Nice, but why does Discourse always rotate mobile phone uploads? That part irritates me.

How about checking the phone settings? Save rotation to EXIF, maybe?

This is the sort of picture you can only draw when you’ve been working on the best comic ever made for four decades.

I’ve tried to get into Love and Rockets, but each time, ways in which women are drawn generally struck me as sexist – the usual panting, het-male gaze – and given the massive amount of material, just where to start. (I suppose with #1?)
I admit, though, that since I’ve never spent much time with it, I don’t know if the charge of sexism is fair or not.

I think the answer is probably both “yes” and “no”. It’s been running since 1982 and across several demographic and cultural shifts. Not to mention the changing world perspectives of the artists as they grow older. There’s a lot in there that someone could easily use as ammo for whatever side they choose to take on that particular discussion about the comic.

I started reading back in the Ape Sex era, which Google tells me has been collected in The Girl From H.O.P.P.E.R.S. book. But Fantagraphics has repackaged the comic so many times now I’m not really sure.

That’s a brilliant summation of toxic nationalism/tribalism.

Nice to see that Kruger’s still got it.

Yep.
Also a good assessment of the subconscious exclusionary message that is perpetually sent to every person of color living in the US…
