Not like some judgin' for hotness business, please. The Other J.D. gave me a book for my birthday, Women and the Comics, and the pics from it made me conclude that they look like total badasses. Because they are.

Abbbottt, are you familiar with artist Becky Cloonan? She is a badass. Contemporary, too.

She looks like a missing SNL cast member c 1978!

I have not read any Becky Cloonan but she does look like a badass!
― Team Safeword (Abbbottt), Friday, 13 July 2012 00:43 (twelve years ago)
But then sometimes IME they deceptively look like shrinking violets or 'sweeties' while in actual fact being fearsome badasses. Gabrielle Bell, Robyn Chapman, Vanessa Davis... these are friends of mine who I would genuinely fear to make angry.

Becky Cloonan to the thread.
Hope Larson, too.
Carla McNeill, too. No, seriously, she's super-friendly but she can put on a scowl when the moment calls for it.

Lynda is like a titan to me. She was at Brooklyn Comics & Graphics Fest in 2010 and I didn't dare approach her even though she was being escorted by friends of mine. It was enough to just gawk in wonder.
