I didn't delete it. I took everything down for a while, but put it back up eventually if only to have a time stamp on some work I'd done. I don't use a gallery site now. I just use Tumblr. It's gotten my work way more attention than any other site thus far.

Pay as many taxes as I can, and try to find a way to start some jobs.

I haven't heard of her, but I'll check her out.

Gonna be honest and say I really suck at this. A lot of it comes from having a bad memory and not remembering what things are secret and what things aren't, but a lot of it also comes from just not thinking before I open my mouth. I never intentionally blab secrets, but I am a pretty terrible liar.

Occupy Wall Street.

The first 2.5 years of drawing YU+ME, I was in college full time and working part time, so there wasn't too much free time for drawing comics in. I tried to stick to a MWF schedule, but missed a lot of updates. By the time Part 2 rolled around, I had gone to a MTWTF schedule, so things zipped by really fast. Somehow I managed this schedule while holding a full time job, which amazes me still that I didn't die during this period.

I like it! I think it's hilarious. Woc recently changed her art style a bit and it's gorgeous, though I never had a problem with the art before. The characters aren't exactly people I *like*, but they're incredibly interesting, and that's what I like in a comic. I've been really interested seeing these characters progress. This comic gets a lot of shit heaped on it that I don't think it deserves.

It's very much like being asked how I can in good conscience support feminism when there are feminists who hate men and think the world would be better without any of them.

That's the extreme view, which is blown out of proportion by opponents who want to discredit the entire movement. Blown out of proportion by the news media (which I work for, though I don't agree with a lot of their practices; I mention this because I have an inside view of how news media works) who will always spend 99% of the time focusing on very small but extreme subgroups because that's more interesting to viewers than the somewhat boring moderates who make up the majority of nearly any movement, and it gets the ratings up. Making people afraid of bogeymen by turning mountains into molehills gets the ratings up.

Feminism isn't a hive mind, and neither is OWS. There are racist feminists, transphobic feminists, homo/biphobic feminists, sexist feminists, and all of these things can also apply to OWS protestors, but it doesn't mean those people in any way speak for the movement and its people as a whole, and it doesn't mean the others endorse them. If the true message gets drowned out, it isn't because feminism is bad, or OWS is bad. It's because extremists hog the limelight and the folks providing the limelight are all too happy to let them have it.

I wish I could say! It's because of massive projects getting in the way, but they're still secret.

Thanks! Really, I post the things mainly for myself to see how much I've improved, but it's nice to know others like them. It's been a lot of hard work.

It's really not. The anatomy is terrible, the character designs are too monotonous (suffering from the "everybody looks the same with different hair" syndrome), the poses were stiff, the lines had very little variation, the backgrounds had no thought put into them and were oftentimes not even there, the colors were randomly picked... Parts of it were downright Liefeldian.

I'm not saying you can't like the old version, but it was so far from perfect, and really far from being professional quality. And it's always frustrating for an artist to hear "Go back to your old stuff! All the hard work you put into improving your craft was wasted." I know it's probably not your intention to say that, but it's essentially what it comes down to. I ain't mad, but "your old work was perfect" is a bit of a backhanded compliment.

Dear Future Megan,
Do we drive a Batmobile yet? No? Hm. What do we drive? The same car we have now? Yeah, I guess that's likely.

With a candy cane sword.

In YU+ME, it was Clandestine, in Meaty Yogurt, it's Saffron, and in LPFOS, it's Velma. So the three of them need to have a fight now to see who has earned eternal love from their creator.

And a lot of the artists. Some of the art is amazing, but others are making my eyeballs puke.

You can't really do that, though. You can't reboot and then reboot again a month later. That's the worst business decision in the world. Rebooting it again so soon would doom the entire company to bankruptcy. They have to take what they have and work with it to make it better.

As far as how removing isms and creating a more diverse staff saves things, well, for one thing, it would mean a very large chunk of the people who make the things would be different people than they have now, which means things are open for different stories we haven't heard before, different perspectives, different characters, different directions. The thing killing the DC reboot the most, in my opinion, is that despite rebooting things, they still want to keep all the old mythology rather than starting fresh with new stuff. The only way to get new readers is to show something that hasn't been shown before, not just taking old plots and putting them in current times.

I keep hearing about White Cap, but I have never been able to find it! I thought they went out of business.

Not just sexism, but all the other isms. And not just in the comics, but the staff itself. Get a more diverse staff. And try writing some new things. And if you kill someone, they stay dead.

Nah. But I do think DC would actually benefit from having some overt porn titles. Get it out of their systems.

I'd just say "Hey, you know what, DC makes porn now, and this is it, and we're taking away Starfire's bathing suit altogether. There you go. Titties. It's all you really wanted. Let's not keep these flimsy pretenses. It's just porn. Our artists learned to draw women by tracing Playboys, and it obviously shows, so let's just go with it."

Really, a lot of what rubs me the wrong way is their insistence that this isn't one baby step away from porn. Like, just own up to it! Of course, even porn doesn't have to be sexist.
