The first episode of Lauren Faust’s Super Best Friends Forever has premiered. Yay
This is without exaggeration one of my all-time most favorite comic book pages. I remember the day I read this, where I was and how much I loved it.
Batman Adventures Holiday Special.
Awesome women in comics: it can be done!
I love Bruce Timm.

Just sharing an outfit that I coordinated with my Batgirl shirt this weekend. I don’t usually shop at Old Navy, but upon stopping by the store on a whim a few months ago, I ended up grabbing this shirt, a Supergirl emblem shirt, and a Jurassic Park shirt (for AK) on sale for under $20 altogether!](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqzgnsRUDi1qd3fj1o1_400.jpg)

A little 6-panel SUPERGIRL/BATGIRL comic. For fun. And because I love the characters. And Because Nate Cosby wouldn’t stop bugging me until I drew one.
You can read waaaay too much thinking into this HERE.Can’t express how much I love this page. You rock, Mike. :)
There’s also a notable erasure of strong female characters when it comes to disability, sometimes erasure in a rather literal sense. Marvel recently decided to ‘reboot’ Oracle, aka Barbara Gordon, aka Batgirl, as a nondisabled character, despite a long, distinguished, and notable representation as a wheelchair using character. A strong wheelchair using character. People with disabilities, you see, cannot be strong, so an aberration like Oracle must be destroyed. The only ‘strong’ disabled characters allowed are those who make nondisabled people feel better about themselves by being inspirational and brave. The disability community has protested, but Gail Simone informs us that since ‘some people’ want Oracle cured, one of the best representations of disability in pop culture should be taken away. But you don’t see very many people talking about strong female characters, of any race, trans or cis, when disability is involved; how many Native trans women using wheelchairs in pop culture can you think of?
