Thank you for what you do: speaking out & being such an advocate for women in comics, gaming, media, & the world entire. I'm lucky to be the dad of three lovely girls. My oldest (5) LOVES to draw - doesn't matter if it's with paints, crayons, markers, what

Honest to god, I cannot TELL you how happy it makes me to see fathers encouraging their daughters like that. A lot of us never had that, and yet I am seeing it CONSTANTLY at conventions now…dads and their daughters reading comics together, sharing a love of their favorite movies, it’s just lovely to see and I have been moved to tears many times.


I love moms, I AM a mom, and any great parents are wonderful. But it does hit me right in the happiest part of my heart to see so many little girls spending quality nerd/creative time with their fathers, or father figures, specifically because that was not always encouraged in our society.


Thanks for the kind words, but more, thanks for being a DAD, all in capital letters. 



MOMS WHO SHARE ARE GREAT, TOO!

fyeahwilliammoultonmarston:



With the debut of the all digital Sensation Comics, Diana is now starring in three regular series. Near as I can tell, this is the first time that’s happened since the 1940s.



Huh.



You know, that honestly didn’t occur to me. COOL!

I just have to say you're wonderful. And that I feel bad for those anons because obviously they have nothing better to do in their life than try to insult someone who just doesn't care. And apparently it makes them feel better to do so, but I really wish t

Heh. You nailed it exactly. 



I don’t get what they get out of it, I honestly, flatly don’t care and I think that’s pretty obvious by now, so it’s completely pointless.



But what the hell, people have to fill their lives somehow, I guess. 


I’ll stick to telling stories and traveling the world. Maybe not as rewarding as insulting people you have never met without the courage to even leave your name, but we make do as we can.

Okay, Enough Anons. Here's a Question!

Honest to god, I sorta feel bad for this one. I think he feels he’s really on fire or something. 


YIKES.


Anon, feel free to prattle, I am frankly starting to feel like a bully even reposting your sadsauce. 


Anyway, here’s my question to everyone.



What is your all-time favorite adventure novel?

No. It just makes you look even more like a twat than you already, like Chris Brown blasting out a stupid refutation against his haters.

Again, is this a zinger where you come from?



Do you have someone who can help you? 


Seriously. I’m getting worried. 



Frowny face sad face frowny face!

Hi Gail! What video games do you like to play?

I like puzzle, strategy, role-playing, survival horror, sim, adventure and fighting games the best. 


A good story is very helpful. Great settings are also cool. For just sheer fun, I play the Lego games. But on the other hand, I did play Tomb Raider doing using the bow for headshots the entire game just recently!


The anon could say I stink at multi-player and probably be right.



But I bet I would destroy him at board games, because I am invincible in that arena.

A Simple Fact

Anonymous bullies are still just bullies.



I know it’s hard to hear insults and personal attacks sometimes.



But seriously…don’t they look a little foolish when you stand up to them?



I know scarier cotton balls.

So... how DID Babs get ahold of Bleez?

It is a very good question!


Okay, No-Prize time, everyone.


Whoever gives the best/most convincing/silliest answer wins!



HOW DID BARBARA CONTACT BLEEZ?
