So I guess a brief explanation is in order. I read a lot of comics books, and read a little bit about fashion. I’m not going to say I’m stylish or trendy or anything like that, I’d have a fashion photoblog if I was, but I care enough to get annoyed that artists in comics don’t. This isn’t to say that the artists I rag on here are bad though, some of them are really good they just aren’t putting the thought into clothing that they are into other aspects of their art. Which is sometimes worse really, since ridiculous or incredibly boring clothing can get in the way of enjoying the rest of the art in a book, which totally stinks.
You are my new favourite blogger. I’ll be reading with interest!
The representation of clothing in comics is something that’s always interested/annoyed me, and I’m so glad to see this blog exists! Bookmarked!
Hey, I was directed here from 4thletter. I can’t believe it’s taken this long for something like this to pop up on the internet, but I’m glad it did.
this is GREAT!
This is an awesome idea for a blog, and I’ll definitely be back to read more! Thankfully, there’s enough out there released every WEEK for this blog to run thrice daily for … infinity? A long time anyway.
Be nice to highlight the good stuff too.
Great theme for a blog. You will never worry about running out of material to dissect and there’s so much out there to give you plenty to post about every week. And I really like that you offer some constructive criticism and examples of things you feel the artists got right and not just cynical snark! Looking forward to more from you in the future.
Love the blog so far! Great idea and funny as hell so far! Good luck with it!
What a great idea!! Fashion faux pas are sadly a regularity in comics, and I’m glad you say that artists may not put a lot of thought into it, as opposed to not being talented at all. Looking forward to more and I’ve added you to my blogroll!
