But then I started to wonder- I am white, straight-ish, and the occasional purchaser of beverages. Just because I am a girl, would that make my navel-gazing comic strips any more insightful? So, I drew one (of a true story that happened to me just a few weeks ago) to find out. And the answer? No. Which should be a surprise to no one, although I certainly put more effort into drawing it.
You can judge for yourself which side of the indie comics coin is the best, below. Click on the strips to make them bigger. Then, vote in the poll to the right. I'll only cry a little bit if you choose A.

OMG, I love your girl comic. But that may be because I also adore Graham Greene. (I named my kid Graham. So, you know, only a slight geek here.)
But in all honesty, it is a better comic. Because the girl navel-gazing inner monologue is significantly more interesting than the guy one. Not just in your comics, but in real life. I'm convinced the inner workings of the boy brain are significantly more boring than our girly ones. ;)
Thanks Jessica! And congrats on giving your kid the best name ever. If only they made board books of "The Power and the Glory" for the 3-5 set... although that would probably also warp them in some profound way.
Your lady comic is the best! You need to make a zine ASAP. I would distribute it to all the too cool for school hipsters in Montreal.

p.s. I still have your hilarious drawing of literary porn for smart girls.
No one has picked the lonely white guy strip! I tell ya, drop a few cool band names and it's golden i say . . . GOLDEN!
