The other day Katie and Meredith came over, and we created a new, exciting team of empowered female super-heroes! Perhaps you’ve seen them on their Twitter feeds (@beatonna & @granulac)?  This is my take on the trio, ready to combat crime AND sexism in the good old red, white, and blue!

A quick sketch of Harley Quinn as a fella based on the new DCU version of Harley seen here: http://tinyurl.com/4xdjr2t

A lot of people have been pissed about this re design and a lot of ladies don’t like it. I am one of them! It is a dumb costume.

Megan Rosalarian Gedris has been redrawing ladies costumes with dudes wearing them and it’s good fun: http://tinyurl.com/3tnx2qb

Now, here’s the thing, I think this boy Harley looks crazy hot. The costume is pretty dumb in all design respects but I like hot dudes and if I saw this on the cover of a comic I would pick it up. HOWEVER I would assume that the comic would be FILLED with sex. Gay sex, straight sex, bondage/corset sex. That’s because this outfit looks designed for sex, certainly not beating people up.

If Harley wore this she wouldn’t be able to inflict much damage because she’d be stopping every 5 seconds to tug the top of her shitty, hot topic corset up, and EVERY lady knows what that feels like.

I’m not into super heroes, I know basically nothing about them other than what I watched on Batman the animated series. I also think one of the reasons I got into that show and not super hero comics is because female characters were treated well. They were sexy, but they did it without flopping their tits out all over the place  and looking like they belonged in penthouse for no good reason. They fit the stories they were in and the personalities they had. I was so fucking thrilled when the character Red Claw was introduced because she had MUSCLES, she was thick and butch and I had never seen that on a super hero lady before, HOW SHOCKING! I think it’s kind of sad how shocked I was by this character:

Once again,women aren’t asking for sexuality to be stripped from comics, we are just asking for characters that make sense to the story they are in.

I hate Harley’s new design for the DC reboot- much like the rest of the internet- so I took a quick pass at doing a modernized Harley that doesn’t immediately show off too much skin.  And doesn’t put an acrobatic character in a corset, because that makes a ton of sense.

I think I’d be pretty happy if I owned a leather aviator cap with Harley-points.
