Erik Larsen wants female superhero comics to stop being so “practical,” so we thought we’d help him practice what he preached.

Because if Erik Larsen wants to save comics industry, he should start from his own backyard.

Unfortunately, there is no chance we’ll be ever seeing such glorious costumes in Savage Dragon comics 🙁 Turns out, Larsen is not as keen on taking criticism as he is on giving it.

Some folks asked me to Tumblr yesterday’s DORK TOWER.

Consider it Tumblr’d!

BTW: The line “Boobs don’t work that way” in the comic is a nod to one of my favorite Tumblrs: http://boobsdontworkthatway.tumblr.com

Hey That’s us! 

( You’re our favorite too.) 

A perfect breakdown of the excuses for ridiculous depiction of women in comics (and by extent, other pop media), including the all-time favorite arguments like “she’s liberated and/or sexy”.

Congratulations for the always-awesome boobsdontworkthatway for getting a shout out! 😀

It seems worthwhile to bring this one back for Throwback Thursday, since our theme for a the past week seems to have been big name creators who are determined to transform this strip from commentary into documentary.

Though what really bugs me is the creators in this one are actually better behaved than the mainstream counterparts – they’re not calling for a crusade against critics or drawing more deliberately terrible content for attention.
