The Four Color Media Monitor

The New York Times reports the veteran lady artist known for underground comics in the 70s passed away:

Trina Robbins, who as an artist, writer and editor of comics was a pioneering woman in a male-dominated field, and who as a historian specialized in books about women cartoonists, died Wednesday. She was 84.

[...] In 1970, Ms. Robbins was one of the creators of It Ain’t Me Babe Comix, the first comic book made exclusively by women. In 1985, she was the first woman to draw a Wonder Woman comic after four decades of male hegemony. In 1994, she was a founder of Friends of Lulu, an advocacy group for female comic-book creators and readers.

Well, it's certainly a shame she's gone, as she surely had some good ideas to bring to the table. Forbes, however, seems to have exploited this news for woke propaganda, and simultaneously reveals a serious downside to her career:

Trina Robbins, a groundbreaking cartoonist who expanded the visibility of women in comics through her art, writing, scholarship and advocacy over a career that spanned more than six decades, died today at age 85 following a stroke that left her hospitalized earlier this year.

Robbins, who was inducted into the Will Eisner Comics Hall of Fame in 2013, was originally active in comics and science fiction fandom, then became one of the first women in the underground comix movement in the 1960s. Her unapologetically feminist take on politics and pop culture stood out among peers like Robert Crumb and S. Clay Wilson, and the experience left her a lifelong critic of the “boys club” misogyny she perceived in such work. [...]

In 2017, Robbins collaborated with an assortment of contemporary cartoonists on A Minyen Yidn: A Bunch of Jewish Stuff, adapting some of the old folk tales told to her by her father, Max Perlman. She also found time to write books for children, translate romance manga, and contribute to various projects and fundraisers aligned with her interests, most recently Won’t Back Down, an anthology to benefit Planned Parenthood.

Well I can't understand how somebody who allegedly complained about misogyny had no issue with abortion, which doubtless led to termination of many girls over past decades, and her support for such a repellent business as Planned Parenthood is appalling, period. Just look what abortion did to China, for that matter. What kind of example was Robbins setting there, as a Jewess or even a children's author? As a result, I must sadly take her portfolio with a grain of salt.

There surely are plenty of upsides to Robbins' career. But that she'd go miles out of her way to support some of the most glaringly awful left-wing movements like Planned Parenthood really taints her legacy, and is devastating.
