In a minute I’m going to a party\/exhibition for the 24 h comics<\/a> that we did last year, whee …<\/p>\n

We prepared the exhibition yesterday. I also brought my other zines in German and English<\/a> in case somebody should wish to acquire them. One of the other artists checked out my comics. First she read The Muggers<\/em>, and then she recognised The Compass Rose<\/em>, because the comics library Renate<\/a> sells it. And then she looked at White Nights<\/em>, and asked excitedly, “And what’s this about? Gender politics, transsexuality …?” I said, “Uuh …”, and she said, “It’s the same character, right?”
\nSo I had to explain that White Nights<\/em> is not about Aeron crossdressing, but it’s about a whole other, female, person …<\/p>\n

Aeron’s comment: “…”
\nSamona’s comment: “Bwa hah haa! Learn to draw better, dammit!!! ”<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, I had recently been thinking about how Aeron perhaps has a rather unusually relaxed attitude towards women, in general, for somebody with his background. Probably because he grew up with only women around him. So maybe he wouldn’t mind trying on Samona’s clothes, after all? :3
\nMaybe it would be like in some Japanese girls’ comics (one example that comes to mind is Miriam<\/em> by Kyoko Hikawa) where the heroine’s love interest has to disguise himself as a woman, and everybody thinks he looks even better like that … heh. Okay, now I know what my next warm-up sketch will be.<\/p>\n

By the way, regarding last week’s topic – today I came across this fitting Che Guevara quote, too:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe laws of capitalism, blind and invisible to the majority, act upon the individual without his thinking about it. He sees only the vastness of a seemingly infinite horizon before him. That is how it is painted by capitalist propagandists, who purport to draw a lesson from the example of Rockefeller\u2014whether or not it is true\u2014about the possibilities of success. The amount of poverty and suffering required for the emergence of a Rockefeller, and the amount of depravity that the accumulation of a fortune of such magnitude entails, are left out of the picture, and it is not always possible to make the people in general see this.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
