Fear Less.

While I’ve yet to actually finish watching the second season of “Daredevil,” I did really enjoy the first season. Especially that one fight. You know the one. In the hallway. Damn. That was a fight. Also, that Matt Murdoch has some pouty, pouty lips. I’d totally recognize him even in costume.

Harley Quinn

This Harley Quinn has been a trouper. She’s appeared on bracelets, necklaces, hairpins, keyring and prints. And I still love her like she loves Mr. J.

Super.

Just in case you need a little boost today.

You are a wonder.

I can’t say that I am the biggest fan of motivational posters, or motivational speakers or motivational...stuff. But I do feel like, every once in a while, we all need an “atta-girl” from someone else. It’s always nice to know that your back is covered. And lately I’ve been feeling that the ladies of this world need to know how wonderful they are. So here, let me just tell you, you are a wonder, woman.

St. Rebecca, Our Lady of Tank

I have to admit that I am pretty pleased with this drawing. I’m a long time fan of Tank Girl and I really just wanted to do her justice. I also wanted to make sure Booga was there...and Camp Koala just seemed like a natural.

Love.

One of my all time favorites. The character and the art. I'm kind of stupidly proud and pleased with this one so go ahead a cue the fall now...because well all know what comes before the fall...summer.

Ah, Hellboy...I love you so. (I love when I go to label a post and the word is already in the archive...how odd that I’ve mentioned Hellboy before. HA!)

Rogues.

More rogues for my gallery. The Joker and Miss P. Ivy...

Catty.

Big faces. That’s what seems to be going on here. Remind me to show the Harley Quinn and Joker faces sometime, ok. Until I do...

Poor Harley.

Poor Harley. She’s go no body. Guess I’ll have to work on that.

My favorite things.

I almost hate to post this picture because it feels like this kind of the best I will ever do. Which may or may not be true, but this is one of my very favorite girls ever (I know I say that all the time, but this time I really mean it). THIS nerdy girl, is my FAVORITE nerdy girl for sure, because she’s me. Well, clearly, she’s not ME. That's not what my bum looks like at all, but this girl is representing for my very favorite comics. The comics that have meant the most to me over the years and that I go back to time and time again. Except...well, I forgot Goodbye,  Chunky Rice and where is Buffy? And how could I forget Books of Magic or the Unwritten or...or...


Clearly, I need to do a sequel to this girlie. Clearly.

So, can you tell what they all are? And can you tell me what else I might be missing?

I have my hands full being bad.

Ok, so here’s the thing. I MAY have had a crush on Doc Ock well before Spider-Man 2 (Electric Bug-aloo) (…or…The Spidering)…I’m neither confirming or denying that one. But I will most vehemently assert that whatever may have existed before was amplified ten-(nay, ten-thousand)fold with the brilliant performance of one Mr. Alfred Molina as the disturbed doctor (I so want to call him a cephalo-clod but that’s really pushing it). I’d take that cold metal cuddle (cuttle? no? too much?) any day…well…more or less. Still, I have a fondness for the old evil genius and although I probably think every girl I draw is my favorite, Doc’s girl ranks right up there at the top of my list for all time fave. Her actual title is “I have my hands full being bad” but she’s a good girl at heart…I think. I mean, look at her, how evil can you get with a cupcake and a teddy bear?...Please don’t answer that. I totally DO NOT want to know what you get up to on the weekends.

Seduction of the Innocent.

So, I don't know how big of a geek you are. You may not be as dorky as I am and if you are not, I guess what you see here is a naked lady covering her bits with comic books. So...yay! Naked lady! Nothing wrong with that. If you are a bit of a comic geek, you may recognize the title of this "pin-up" girl (and yeah, I use that term loosely. I call them (Oh, there are more naked ladies!) my "Nerdy Girls" and I love drawing them...but we'll talk about that some other time.)...where was I? Oh right, the title...see in 1954 there was a book published by one Frederick Wertham. It was called "Seduction of the Innocent" and basically, it said that comics were bad and would cause all manners of juvenile delinquency. That, naturally, alarmed people. There were hearings and a Congressional investigation and some hub-bub and the next thing you know, there's the Comic-Code, which was basically like a movie rating that told people, "Hey, this book is not appropriate for you! It will make you a bad person!" 

So, see, the title is a play on words. Get it? There's a lot more to the Frederick Wertham story. And it's odd, because the book and the hearings seem to have been pretty sensationalized, and...well...ok, remember the PMRC? Kind of like that.  Maybe worse. Which would make this naked lady a little inappropriate. So there.
