"Isn't that Liefield Syndrome?
"No L.S. shrinks your head and feet and causes sexual arousal around pouches."
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've found that the syndrome is being called brokeback. Waste of a good, well, brokeback.
I've also found a couple interesting tumblrs:
- [link] I wish she'd draw more and talk less. I know what the words are. I like seeing the actual alternatives.
- [link] Great balance of words and pics, and great pics. I like her approach to sequential art, and she's less touchy than the first artist.
eta: I can't lie, reading both of those tumblrs from tip to toe made me paranoid about my own grasp of anatomy (especially the tits and ass woman--she's really good at blocking out the form) and I had to go look and see if my most recent life drawings had room for internal organs. In my defense, the model was freakishly tiny...

So, I've been reading this Greg Land rant blog: [link] and it's filled with the usual things--Land is a tracer, Land relies on orgasm face, Land re-uses poses...
But I hadn't realised how consistently, nay, pathologically Land narrows hips and blows up breasts of any given trace. Also, I hadn't realised how much he swiped from other artists. I'm sad that the industry doesn't seem to care, especially about the latter.

I guess because it's easy for him to meet deadlines?

He must be *way* early, is all I can think. Because he's pretty heinous. Toss the implicit sexism and stuff out of consideration, and it's still pretty crappy.

So Green Lantern and Young Justice finally return to Cartoon Network. The new time is 10:00am Saturday, instead of Friday evening.
Cartoons on Saturday morning! What a concept!

In the DCAU, Bats/Barb? Seriously? What's the context? That's gross.

It was only in Batman Beyond, when an older Commissionet Barbara Gordon talked about it as something that happened in the past. Batgirl would have been much older than she was in the cartoons. They do drop hints that Babs was crushing in Bruce, though. When Barbara talks about it, she makes it clear that she saw it as a partnership of equals.
