I quite enjoyed it myself, even if the plan had some rather obvious flaws. For one, had her weapon succeeded, her next step would have had to be to tell her army of most of the world’s female supervillains “Now, in order for humanity to survive, you too will all have to spend the rest of your fertile years churning out babies.” Not a proposition that would appeal to that carefree party-loving bunch, I think. And for being a supervillain aiming to bring about a feminist utopia, it seems backwards to focus one’s plan on the reproduction aspect of the female anatomy – that’s more in line with patriarchal thinking (but then mainstream comic-book writers often seem to find feminism difficult to comprehend).

Moreover, her entire strategy for what to do after the first strike appears to have been to accept the calm surrender of all the world’s nations. Because surely there wouldn’t be any nations that would rather react by attacking her to seize the remaining fertile women for themselves? (It’s martians that do that.) So indeed in line with the concluding tone of the guest story here.

That peaceful agrarian society doesn’t need the windmill shown in Tuesday’s comic. They just need a supply of leftover Narbonicola cans & they can run heat engines off the temperature difference. Narbonicola does seem to violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

Byrne’s real power is in writting though that issue where Sue Richads A misscarge made throw at age 8 and frankly makes me a litle ill at 34

I’m half showing my age. I’m even older.

Very true!

David Byrne visited the Cartoon Art Museum bookstore one time. I caught a glimpse of him as he was riding away on his bike. It was awesome.

I don’t think I ever drew myself into a panel with my characters. I was too afraid of what they’d do to me.
