Females are from Venus, Males are from Mars

When I drew this page I was ticked off at the female gender because of what I overheard two women talking about in the break room at work. And I must admit, my past experiences with the female gender hasn't been all that good. Fortunately, my current experiences with the female gender seem to be going good. Ickus has been a very loving and caring woman, and for that… I am very grateful!
I know that a large portion of my audience is female. (I'm still trying to figure out how I managed to pull that off.) And in this story there is a-lot of “bad female stereotyping”. But before the angry comments come flooding in, keep in mind that I also show the “bad male stereotypes” too. (Major Kohi the cruel brute, Advisor Toh the abusive woman hater, Kiryn company (Minus Masato) raping and humiliation, and many more to come.)
Ok ladies, you may fire when ready. *Puts on blindfold*
On other news. I'm up in Washington now and living about 50 miles south of Seattle. Normaly I'd say things are going well… but after being rear-ended on the freeway my second day here and the guy who hit me ran off well… it's left a bad image in my mind's eye of Washington people.
So since the guy ran off, my insurance company is dragging thier feet and trying to find a way out of paying for repairs to my car. I've had to pay a lot of out of pocket expenses and I only have a limited amount of money. Thanks to all this extra stress I haven't been drawing very much. (Raziel, I did manage to get page two of Ramen Girls drawn and got page one colored.)
Oh yeah, Raziel and I are working on a comic together called Ramen Girls. Raziel is doing the writting and I'm doing the drawing, (Mind you I'm doing the drawing VERY slowly, but I am doing it.)

I agree with Poki_rat. I am doing all about this in media coursework at the moment - God I cant wait 'til it's done.

Raziel: My inker seems to have fallen off the face of the planet, If I can't get a hold of her in the next couple days I'll ink the pages myself... (Which means more delays, sorry.)

lildarkdragon13: You can stand after getting stabbed in the leg and arrows can be removed.

The fact that you have the guts to show the worst side of people's what makes this comic interesting. :D

Yeah don't worry about the female sterotyping, an up coming character in AoS is fits that. What were the women talking about?
Poki_rat at 9:10AM, March 29, 2008
Both men and women are insane. That's what make us human (sadly) Both so quick to judge the other by their standereds, that in the end, neither can coexist with the other peacefully. Only the adaptable can find the balence.

Insanely good comic! Thanks a bunch for it! Allso, im sorry about what happened to your car. A distant relative of mine lives in that part of the united states, don't worry, the people there are not all bad.

Wow you don't have alot of luck do you?

I don't know if you had only "good" female or "good" male types it would be slightly creepy. on a side note pulling the ear with the hole in it seems really fun right now, not even to be mean it just looks really fun ^_^

Ah, yes, I caught a glimpse of Ramen Girls. Some new pages would be nice. n.n Sorry to hear about the whole thing with car insurance. I don't have any personal experiance with that sort of thing, but I understand that sucks! Also, Toshu shouldn't worry because he hasn't done my least favorite female stereotype which seems to be prevelant in the world. The popular dresses in pink wench. Also, your characters are a little more in depth. I.e. with some looking, I can see how they can come to the conclusion that what they're doing is 'right' or they at least think about it a little about it.
