Now that you mention it, Batgirl was brought up several times, oops. Don't overestimate the quality of these notes, they were scrawled between the margins on my program whenever I happened to think "Oh, that sounds interesting, I should write it down".

The others didn't get mentioned, as I recall, but there was only one DC person on the panel and the conversation shifted from superhero comics to webcomics etc moderately early on. There's a lot of very good webcomics that didn't get mentioned either! Still, thanks for the recs.

It's really hard to let webcomics go once you get started isn't it? I mean, they're free, and it's only a couple of panels every few days...

Sounds like you've been really busy! You looked WONDERFUL last night!

Thanks :) Very tired now but happy.

I didn't know Lisa was doing a panel! Was she good? :)

alias_sqbr April 25 2011, 20:33:28 UTC

Yes! She showed a really interesting progression of images from initial sketch to finished picture.

Sounds like it was really interesting! I'm glad to see Digger get a mention, I just finished it the other day and it's brilliant. And aside from its brilliance as a comic it's interesting because it makes our unconscious bias towards seeing unmarked characters as male very obvious.

True! Which is relevant to the panel I went to the next day, alas I didn't think to bring it up as an example :)

Did you go to any of my panels? I want a cool sqbr writeup!

alias_sqbr April 26 2011, 03:01:56 UTC

I'm getting there! Though I think I only made it to one, I know there were a bunch that sounded interesting but were at the same time as other things I was desperate to go to or while I was resting etc.
