When One Pink Doll Meets Another! I Really Wanted To Draw Margot Robbie Barbie, And Since I Remembered

When one pink doll meets another! I really wanted to draw Margot Robbie Barbie, and since I remembered I love Mommy Long Legs thanks to DAGames’ “Return to the Motherland,” I decided to just draw some cute crossover art! This was very fun- I might be getting into drawing even more pink art 💖

We’re going vintage, baby! Cuz that is today’s prompt-

Feeling melancholy...cuz that’s the prompt of this piece XD

Just a clown having a bit of a pity party, to feel a mood that’s not just happy, hence the multiple emotion balloons

And now we wrap up clown month with the final prompt, dreams! This month was so much fun to do-

Comic History 101?

More like Bad Comprehension 101–

Lemme break this down:

The slowing of progress in comics was not the fault of the comic creators. It was the fault of that puritan pissant Fredric Wertham and his book “Seduction of the Innocent,” which lead to a series of Senate hearings, which lead to

The Comics Code of Authority

This BS was used to censor and control comics if their creators wanted them to get published. And it had rules prohibiting things such as:

• “Policemen, judges, government officials, and respected institutions shall never be presented in such a way as to create disrespect for established authority” TLDR don’t portray legal systems negatively in any way

• They forbade “sexual abnormalities” which while a very vague term also attributed to LGBT themes back in the day

• “Crimes shall never be presented in such a way as to create sympathy for the criminal, to promote distrust of the forces of law and justice, or to inspire others with a desire to imitate criminals” Basically the first point I showed, where TLDR you’re not allowed to create a morally grey criminal because it could instill a dislike of the legal system and such

And that was just the CCA! Let’s not even get into when Lynn Johnston was sent death threats for THIS comic strip back in 1993!

Or how about the story of how Jack Kirby, a Jewish American comic book artist widely known for the comic Captain America(where btw he drew CA punching Hitler in the face), scared off a bunch of Nazis who demanded his secretary call him down because they wanted to kill him because…well, he was Jewish!

Oh and sexism…dear GOD the sexism! That Wertham fella said that because Wonder Woman has strength and independence, she’s automatically a lesbian, and while I have no issue with that(what queer girl would not wanna huge buff Amazonian princess for a GF???) this was a no-no back then because almost everyone thought comics were a medium for children, so teaching children about homosexuality is bad.

As for racism, while I haven’t found any examples of that from back then(although I don’t doubt that was there), who’s gonna tell Dobson about Black Panther, the first black superhero who debuted in 1966? Or Storm from the X-Men, who made her debut in 1975? Or that the literal metaphor of the X-Men explained by Stan-motherfucking-Lee was racial discrimination and civil rights???

Huh…wow! It’s almost like this slowing of progress Dobson is talking about(which is only partially true I mean have you seen what they did to Ms. Marvel, the first Muslim protagonist of Marvel Comics?) goes both ways! It’s not the fault of just out of touch executives, it’s also at the fault

OF THE FUCKING PURITANS WHO WANTED TO RUIN OUR FUN

And yet here I am…finding barely ANY comics of his touching on this!

And I’m just touching major comics from Marvel and DC! There’s a huge history of the subtext and underground comix made during the era of counterculture to share unique stories with progressive themes!

B U T, this is becoming very long.

Don’t get me wrong Dobson has some valid criticisms of when comics decide to fridge their female characters…..no that’s it that’s honestly where the criticism kinda ends cuz everything else is such a huge mess-

So, what did we learn today kids? Dobson doesn’t truly know his comic history, puritans can go kick rocks, and Jack Kirby is the G.O.A.T.

Apologizes @hypocrisyofandrewdobson for hijacking your post to create this huge ass rant, but some educating needed to be done, and I wanted to show how Dobson’s claims of being progressive are performative at best, and false at worse.

Dobson digs out yet another old strawman SYAC comic in order to shit on both comic fans and take a shot at Trump again.

Notice the flags being used in the third panel and the website on the last one. Because all comic fans are apparently racist, sexist basement dwellers that only go to 4chan.

Don’t be a Dobson, kids.

We love a supportive mime girl who paints her insecure clown GF, so she can feel better about herself!
