I certainly wouldn’t mind hearing about the left-handed artist’s perspective. Do they draw panels left to right or right to left? How big of a problem is smudging if they go left to right? Do they think it would be easier to draw Manga due to how it’s read as opposed to American comics?

No, I’m not taking the piss….

It’s not about segregation. It’s about promoting a unique perspective. Disrespectful would be not letting them have a panel at all.

The inclusion of Jenna Jameson aside, I find the segregation of female creators into the obligatory “women in comics” panels held at nearly every major convention to be redundant at the very least, and disrespectful of their efforts at the worst.
Creators are creators, period, no matter their gender,race, sexual orientation, or whatever marginalization in evidence at panels such as this.
What next? Left-handed creators within comics? The mid-western perspective of comic book creators? Auburn-haired artists and their place in comics today?

I wonder if Jenna has ever heard of THE PRO. It would be hilarious if somehow she had already read it before coming to the panel.

Maybe she will bring the giant-headed Tito Ortiz to the con.

Colleen, I don’t think you’re going to spontaneously combust for being on the panel. And if you did, I’d cry!
I think there IS a place–an important one–for women in comics panels. My objection to this one isn’t to the creators involved–you, Louise, and Colleen are effectively the short list of “creators whose names throw Rachel into slack-jawed awe,” and, like Heidi, I’d love to hear Jenna’s thoughts on coming into comics from another industry–but with the fact that it’s being marketed as half pornography, half zoo exhibit.

I think all you ladies are very smart and talented, each in your own way. And I have been coming down on Jenna Jameson, but mostly because she’s such a noob compared to the others on the panel. In the end, it’s the moderator of this panel who is going to have ALL THE FUN.

am i gonna spontaneously combust for being on this panel?

i said ‘yes’ to it ’cause i really like weezie & colleen (i never met jenna j., but she seems nice)…

…and the programmer got us a hotel room! woo!

i am such a whore.

although, if i had a buck every time i did a ‘women in comics’ panel, i’d be a really high priced whore!

what really has me aghast is that it’s a panel about doing outrageous & provocative comics and ‘the Pro’ isn’t listed! what’s with that?!?
