I know a lot of people like to snicker and snark about all the weird bondage in the early Wonder Woman comics by her eccentric co-creator, William Moulton Marston. And sure, it gets really weird sometimes.

But if you just dismiss all the bondage as Marston’s personal kinky fetish or whatever, you are kind of missing the bigger picture: As often as Wonder Woman is bound, the point is just as much to show her powerfully breaking free of her bonds — which is a clear metaphor for defying societal limitations on women. This is also why Wonder Woman is frequently shown trying to teach other women how to break free.

Meanwhile, Wonder Woman’s own method of binding people, the Golden Lasso — literally, binding people with the truth — is unbreakable.

These are really powerful allegories that make the character who she is. 

Sure, it got weird and a little uncomfortable sometimes. But the more people write it off as Marston’s embarrassing kink, the more they miss the point that Wonder Woman is meant to break the shackles of oppression.

And via Ben Towle, the imagery of women breaking bonds also comes directly from the women’s suffrage/rights movement.

Today's Cover Story: The Elizabethan Era was one hell of an era for She-Hulk, especially when the suitors came calling to yonder balcony. But when your choices are the nitwitted brute from the age of the Gods or a man who looks suspciously like your cousin, marriage may well be for the birds! Will our emerald damsel ever find true love? Or are her adventures as a less-than-jolly green giant far from over?

Today's Cover Story: Batman is beginning to regret letting Aquaman crash in the Bat Cave after he floods it to make it more homey.

Work Doodles

Top is a random character design, don’t know for who yet but I like her.

Second is a self-portrait with my signature catch phrase because I am known to want to throw things and people in the fire.

Third is April O'Neil who I drew because one of our other locations challenged all the other stores to a Turtle off and I drew my favorite character instead.

Lastly, but not least, is Falcon the Robin, because I refuse to believe that Falcon is anything but a tiny little angry chirp derp who thinks he’s bird of prey.
