Even though I don't agree with everything this blog says...it's still my favorite blog and I look forward to having more to look forward to! WELCOME KELLY! Maybe we can see some Wonder Woman love and discussions!

Just out of curiousity, are we talking about women characters or women creators?

There's not enough women writing, drawing, reviewing, or blogging comics.
Welcome aboard.

Yes.
Seriously, though, women characters, women creators, anything and everything.

The fact that her blog is named after a great song by The Bad Plus makes me think I will probably enjoy her posts very much.

She is a badass. I've been reading her blog since she was doing a daily comic. Looking forward to her first post on CSBG.

Thanks everyone for the amazing welcome - I hope I can do it justice.
And to APODACA - I wish I could give out some kind of prize - you are literally the first person EVER to get that my blog is named after The Bad Plus' song 1979 Semi-Finalist.
Huge Awesome Announcement « 1979 Semi-Finalist…

Welcome to the ever-growing CSBG team!
At this rate, maybe CBR will become a sub-section of CSBG instead?

This is super exciting. I have know Kelly since we studied together at SCAD in the Sequential Art department. She has always had a point of view that would have been sorely lacking without her presence. Both in the classroom, in her cartooning and in her blog. This is such a great opportunity for her and for avid readers of CBR...which I am one.
