In an interview I read, Allison Bechdel really loves Pekar and Crumb because of their unflinching honesty. <BR/><BR/>Yes, it may be distasteful and ugly but it's powerful and real and as brutal to the author as anyone else. <BR/><BR/>But hey, I started out reading underground anthologies -- Zap, Arcade, Weirdo, Wimmins Comix, Gay Comix so that's where I came from.<BR/><BR/>moAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20435429.post-1145318402579622022006-04-17T19:00:00.000-05:002006-04-17T19:00:00.000-05:00Mo,I've seen Mary Fleener's work.

I'm a fan of feminist graphic novels (Bedchel, Dimassa, Ariel Schrag, Marjane Sartrapi) and I was delighted to receive the Juicy Mother anthology (edited by Camper) in my Christmas stocking this year. That book expanded my horizon to include a number of artists I hadn't heard of ... as did your post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20435429.post-1145228046171988532006-04-16T17:54:00.000-05:002006-04-16T17:54:00.000-05:00Check out Mary Fleener and Carol Tyler, Ellen Forn...Check out Mary Fleener and Carol Tyler, Ellen Forney, and Jessica Abel, R.
