questionable motives

[hatam_soferet]

I've lately been noting with pleasure how Questionable Content frequently passes the Bechdel-Wallace test with flying colours.

So it was somewhat jarring to see the cover art for the latest print version, which features the leading male character flanked by two of the leading female characters. Because most of the characters are women, and a lot of the action is about what they get up to, I think of it as a strip about people who happen to be women; I guess the author thinks of it as a strip about the male character populated by women.

So it's not a cartoon about people who happen to be women...it's the male author's pornulated fantasy world rendered in cartoon form.

This is too bad.

I started reading QC about a year ago, after hearing many positive things about it, and stopped in short order because it struck me as nothing more than a lengthy ode to the Nice Guy (http://shakespearessister.blogspot.com/2007/12/explainer-what-is-nice-guy.html)--basically, I thought it was full of fail and was really confused about why so many people seem to love it.

Yeah. Ode To The Nice Guy is about it. Sigh; the female characters are fun, when you take out the Nice Guy.
