| Summary |
"Why are so few women in the comics pages? Funny Ladies features four extraordinary female cartoonists in the male-dominated world of newspaper comics. Dale Messick recalls her 40+ years of drawing and writing Brenda Starr. Cathy Guisewhite [sic] (Cathy) holds forth on the concept of feminine perfection, politics and cheesecake. Lynda Barry chats about childhood and writing in a 'trance.' And the ever gutsy Nicole Hollander, who syndicates Sylvia herself, talks about the "invisiblity" of older women in modern society"--Container. |
