Anonymous asked: I think there's a little difference with the objectifying and sexism there; Sure, the objectifying does create the sexism in the mainstream comics, but the way both of the sexes (male and female) are objectified strictly for men, creates the sexism far more clearer since it states them to be "only-for-men". If the context would be something like straight-men pornography, sure, go...

help! sexism vs. objectification
a few friends and i were discussing sexism and cheesecake in Big Two superhero comics recently (what else is new!), and it was mostly us trying to convey the usual concepts of sexual objectification to somebody who was fighting us on it (the common “superhero comics are for men” defense and positioning themselves as if we were calling for wholesale elimination of cheesecake), that...

comiccharm:
I don’t see many people talking about book yet (maybe because until last night I was being crushed by deadlines and there-for haven’t been on Tumblr) but I’m going to start. Despite Glory being a Rob Leifeld character created in the 90s as soon as this new book was announced I had high hopes for…

Anonymous asked: How would you feel if I told you I made a sort of fan character for Wet Moon? I say sort of because I imagined them living in that area-- she wasn't made to be in the story like most fan characters are for.

Anonymous asked: Hey Ross I'm a long time fan, and I have a question... have you had any Hispanic characters? I know you always strive for diversity but as far as I know, none of them are Hispanic, correct?

sorry for another establishing shot/mood-setting page, hehheh. i’ve had some people (jokingly i hope) call me a tease for doing this, which kind of makes me upset, like i planned all this to frustrate people or something on purpose, but it reads much faster in the actual book, you know?? :(
anyway, check out my blog post for page commentary. :)
penguinocalypse asked: Mr. Campbell, I just wanted to say thank you. Water Baby was great, I've just started the Wet Moon series (which is also shaping up to be great as well); However I want to thank you for inspiring my girlfriend to draw more, being so great to your fans, giving people something worth talking about. Thank you, Mr. Campbell for being yourself and making your art. As a side note, when my friend...

lequinne replied to your post: Hey! So my friends and I are going to attempt to cosplay your Jem redesigns. Would you want to do some rough sketches of the rest of their outfits? Just for the Holograms, to give us an idea of what direction to go in? Pretty pleeeeease?
YAY! NYCC isn’t until October, so we have loads of time. Just the front , or front and back; basically however much you have ...

sugarpug asked: Hi! Let me say first that I love you work, and thank you for letting us have a sneak peek at WM6! I was wondering if you are accepting fan art for the back of the book again this time?
demonalefright asked: I just posted a photo of myself on my blog, I look a lot like Mara in it haha

So give us a listen and please us a...
blackblobyellowcone replied to your post: Don’t know if this helps but when studying Meiji Era i looked back at Tokugawa period (feudal Japan). They had books as they were writing novels at the time. Books and documents both existed. Everything was in script (Hiragana and Kanji…Katakana was not invented until Meiji Era). Note that women weren’t taught to read Kanji, so if you’re drawing an...
batattackk asked: I've always been super curious, ross. Have you ever thought about drawing your "The Abandoned" characters in your current style? * w* I'd love to see doodles.

gallowsmadeofsilver asked: Well, in the Kamakura period (1185-133) there were rice paper books with slightly wide spaced stitching. If I recall they rather flexible and the title went down the very center of the cover. If that helps any at all. >.>
gallowsmadeofsilver asked: Which era are you working with? Feudal Japan was a rather long stretch, really. c:

You could actually upload the page on Tumblr, but have it direct to the Wet Moon blog when people click on it. Just put the URL in “content source” when uploading to Tumblr!
i tried that but couldn’t get it to work! i tried both making it a photo post and text post with embedded picture, but in the photo post i can’t resize the image,...

Wet Moon 6 correction: Friday the 3rd, not 4th!
in my last Wet Moon 6 post i said i’d start posting volume 6 pages on next Friday, February 4th, but i meant this Friday the 3rd! whoops. maybe that was easy to figure out but it could’ve also meant Saturday the 4th or something, but yeah, it was a bunch of typos. THIS FRIDAY!!!
thefrillyqueer asked: Near the beginning of January I was wandering around a small local comic book shop and was just looking for something to read while waiting for the bus, not to buy. I found a small rack near the counter and saw wet moon! Needless to say my interest was piqued and so I quickly flipped through the first volume and then and there bought the first and second volume. I really love the art and the...
