Comic: some very subjective observations about the ongoing conversation regarding comics industry gender bias.
As flexible as the web is, I think if one isn't cautious it's very easy to truncate and simplify what could a more nuanced discussion.
I would love to get all these folks in a room together and enjoy a spirited discussion.
If anyone feels they have been misrepresented*, I'm just here to cast a little levity on the fact that so many people are in denial about gender in the stateside comics industry. And how easily a discussion can go off the rails.
Don't take my word for it, go to the source!

*You are also welcome to draw your own comic. With all this TALK about comics by comickers, that should be a natural consequence. 
Courtesy James. I don't even gotta make this stuff up!
The water in Phnom Penh is pretty good, thanks to the much lauded Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority's systematic rooting out of corruption. There's been talk of privatizing a number of state utilities. We'll see what shakes out!
