Superhero Girl 81

The idea of ninjas at university makes me so, so happy. This is the best thing about drawing this comic: I can go wherever I want with whatever goofy idea I have.

Oh and hey, Superhero Girl has a new outfit and hair colour! After all, university is where you experiment ... with hair dye. That's when my hair colour started coming out of a box, and I haven't looked back. Can't even remember my hair's natural colour ... brown, I think. I dunno. I designed Superhero Girl's outfit to be a bit on the cute/sexy side (she's got a skirt and leggings to go with her Bjork hair), because university's also where you think about being cute/sexy sometimes for the first time in your life. Later, once you get out on your own to do your superheroing, you think practical. I don't think she'd wear a skirt now.

... I think about superhero outfits a lot. Probably too much.

Btw, my boyfriend paid this comic the highest compliment: it reminded him of Kim Possible*. Yay!

*It's his favourite show.

Superhero Girl 80

Aw, Kevin. And oh hey, this is comic #80! That is more than 79 or 78 but not as many as 100. I'm looking forward to having 100 comics drawn, for some reason.

Mike Maihack (previously of the awesome Supergirl/Batgirl fancomic) drew a very nifty Superhero Girl fanart recently, which got me thinking: my birthday's coming up (it's September 29th), and fanart is a pretty awesome thing to get on your birthday. So if you're someone who enjoys any of my comics (Demonology 101, Ice, Friends With Boys or Superhero Girl) and would like to throw some love my way, fanart would be a great birthday present, hint hint. ;)

Superhero Girl 79

Kevin continues his reign of Awesome ... I like the look Superhero Girl is rocking here, the long t-shirt and Ninja Turtles style headband. We're going through her past, so I'd say she's around 16 or so here, and it makes sense her style would change as she gets older. Superheroes are people too, and the outfits they wear as a teen they probably wouldn't wear as an adult. Kevin also has on something a lot more egotistical than the outfit we previously saw him in, because the world revolves around you when you're an awesome teenager. ;)

Anyway, I hope everyone's keeping up with Friends With Boys as well as this comic! I have to say, after a long period of not really having any comics online (I haven't had a regularly updated webcomic since ... 2007? That makes sense, as it's when I started getting comics published) it's a real joy to be able to share both Superhero Girl and Friends With Boys with you, internets. :D

Superhero Girl 78

Oh, Kevin...

I was going to do a little blog post about DC Comics' relaunch, but I went out tonight and socialized instead, so no blog post for you guys! In the meantime, you guys can check out DC Fifty-Too, a surprisingly awesome take on the relaunch which is full of the diversity and spontaneity kind of lacking from the ... uh, actual relaunch. Especially check out my favourite, the Supergirl/Batgirl team up by Mike Maihack. I have cared not a whit for DC's relaunch (understandable, I'm not their target audience), but I would read the crap out of that Supergirl/Batgirl comic.
