When I first started this blog, some 3 or so years ago (is it 4 now? I can't remember) I used to see a lot of responses to this site that tried to color me as some fetishist or some creepy dude who has nothing else going on but collecting pictures of wonder woman. What's true is that I love the interesting conversation that happens when you ask cartoonists to interpret their idea of what a big wonder woman is. Every artist comes at this in a different way - add on to this if they're from OUTSIDE of the USA, add to that if they're a minority of any sort, etc. The dial keeps spinning and THAT'S what I find so interesting about the BBWW. Take what some people consider the 'ideal' symbol of femininity, and an icon of America, and strength and beauty, and blah blah blah. So now what happens if she's not wearing a size 2 outfit? Does any of that warp? Is it now funny? Or empowering? What do YOU see when you look at these images?
Stepping off the soapbox, what I see right here is a great illustration from storyboard artist/cartoonist Megan Kelly, who has a GREAT sense of character and I love what she's come up with here. And if I'm guilty of loving anything too much - I adore me some invisible planes.
Please visit Megan online and see more of her awesome art. Thanks for waiting Megan!
