Gail and Kelly Sue at a panel on women in comics.

This was the most fun ever, I can’t tell you what it’s like to have Kelly Sue out there punching the same bullshit in the face all the time.

Ragdoll: If I'd known we might die, I would have done something filthy enough to shame the Heavens as my last act.

Deadshot: What have you left on that list?

Ragdoll: only what my allergies won't permit, I'm delighted to say.





Ragdoll does what he wants.

Do you think the female furies should come back? Or is it the wrong time?

NEVER the wrong time.

are we still allowed to ask you hair questions, or are you strictly comics now?

Well, I don’t have a cosmetology license anymore, I let it lapse, and I haven’t been to a hair show in ages.

But you can ask, I guess!

Come say hello!

I just wanted to say thank you. I only discovered your work a few years ago. But in that short time, interacting with you through your comics and outside of them, you've given me the confidence to use my natural voice in my writing -- because YOU aren't

Well, first, wow, thank you for that lovely sentiment, but it sounds like you were already on that path to speaking with your true self. The first step in learning what to do right is acknowledging that feeling when you are doing it wrong. Your gut will let you know when you are doing something that doesn’t feel right, doesn’t feel honest.

I have had many, many friends tell me they have tried to write to the ‘house style’ of major companies and that that meant suppressing their own voices and creativity.  But I really believe the only answer for us as creators and the industry as a whole is to fight that impulse and write with what souls we have been given as best we can.

There will always be resistance. But think of all the people out there who want and NEED to read of other voices and experiences.  I know you can do this. I will be rooting for you!
