Today I was sad to see comics posted without credit somewhere for the millionth time, and aired my frustration on twitter. It gets me down sometimes, even though we all know what the internet is like! Credit the artists whose comics you post! They…

Part of me thinks it’s too soon to be writing about this because I don’t think I’ve completely processed how I feel, but I also think maybe this has happened to other women and I should talk about it in as raw a way as possible. I’m still really embarrassed and ashamed and garbled…

Have you posted this comic yet?
No! I haven’t even seen it before. This is excellent and illustrates the false equivalence of that troll tactic so well, and without even getting into the lack of large penis bulges or outlines! Great point, simply the expressions on the faces and how they’re drawn makes a big difference.
