Well, that was exciting
After an unforeseen hiatus induced by an OS meltdown, a complete laptop wipe, and a careful restoration of my scans library, I’m back. I had just about everything copied off to external drives, so let this be a lesson for those of you with huge libraries like mine: back up, back up, back up.  Gee, I hope nothing exciting happened in comics-tumblr-land while I was gone …

ladiesmakingcomics: Is it self-ghettoization for women comics creators to have their own spaces, either in anthologies, panels, or *gasp* blogs?  Is there really a sexism problem in comics, actively keeping women creators out?  How much of this issue is just the nature of the market?
