Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.

2 years later, Gail Simone's still shunning Mike Baron
2 years ago, Simone turned against Baron after a joke he made about fat cat ladies, in an instance where she demonstrated she's not willing to accept a joke by right-wingers, if anything:
And then, it was discovered she blocked the special Florida Man account on Twitter for promoting the recent graphic novel:
Baron never contacted her or anything through his Florida Man account, so it's clear that, at this point, Simone's holding a petty grudge against him. As terrible as she's proven to be in the long run, it's still a shame it came to this, and now, in Star Wars terms, she's basically joined the dark side, shunning anybody considered a conservative, and setting a poor example of somebody who's too thin-skinned to take a joke. Very sad, and the worst part is, she'll probably never reconcile.


My favorite thing about this is that he didn't name her... She self-identified as the fat bitter old cat lady. It's like the game kids play where someone yells "Hey stupid", and then laughs at whoever turns around.
