Theory

No she isn't. She's one of those white girls who majors in English, gets B- on everything, and then only ever reads YA afterwards.

She's not really that into it, only doing it because it's something new and you might like it. She does it for you. She's nervous and worries that her asshole smells even though she was careful to wash it closely (it does have a little bit of an odor--you don't tell her). She's awkward about positioning her asshole up in the air, shifting around and trying to hold her legs up (it makes her belly squish together; she worries you think she's fat). You pour some lube on your cock and around her hole. She starts to make a joke to cut the awkwardness. You poke a lubed up finger into her before she can say the punchline. She makes a nice like this: "Hoonrrffggh. Huhgnr." You laugh; she blushes. She starts the joke over again (she doesn't know what to do). Again you enter her before she can complete it, this time with your penis. It's like fucking a lubed-up hole in the drywall with a plastic bag filled with vaseline on the other side. You fuck Kate Beaton's ass.

I like the illustration much better than the substance of the jokes. The facial expressions and other details are very well-done.

She's almost as bad as xkcd

>>8447016
nobody comes close to that bad
haven't read xkcd since my stemlord phase in high school ended two or three years ago, is it even worse than it was then?

>>8446925
Theory:

She is mildly attractive and thus gets way more attention than her creative talent alone would merit.

>>8447067
That definitely doesn't apply here. She's not attractive.

>>8447067
>>8447082
You've just discovered the secret: A woman doing anything automatically gets more attention than a man on the upper end of the talent bell curve doing it.

Doing something while vagina is an automatic A- in terms of garnering interest. Even highly talented B+ men are outclassed by simply having a vagina.

>>8447125
Sometimes makes me wonder if this subconsciously underlies why so many guys go trans these days.

>>8447125
This applies mainly to virtue signalling SJWs.

>>8447140
Well, you get extra special attention for being trans specifically, of course. (both positive and negative)

>>8447125
Let me get the tongs, this take is TOO HOT to handle

>>8447193
I can tell you're a woman because you don't reply with either a joke or an argument, you just get angry and sassy. In a thread about how women are less funny than men, you're literally proving that women aren't funny.

In any fair society I would be allowed to rape you right now.

>>8447263
I would rape her pussy but not with the penis, rather a spiked mace or something like that

>>8447125
Then why are there so many more successful and well-known male cartoonists/writers/artists/everything else then women? It's almost as if your theory was ass-backwards. Or (as you're about to argue) women are just so artistically and intellectually inferior than even making everything extra-easy for them in life isn't enough to make up for their genetically-predetermined lack of talent, right?

>>8446925

Wow it's almost like you have to make compromises on subject matter when making a comic in order to get a substantial readership

I don't care about the cunt's opinion on part 2 of sound and the fury, or if she can recite lines from Dante and explain them using a Thomist vocabulary. People read comics either for a plot (this is a plot less comic so not this) or to be amused by jokes (bingo!)

And the jokes aren't always good but that's why she's doing a middling comic instead of writing an episode of Veep or 30 Rock

Perhaps it's because I personally have a goal to improve my drawing and writing and make a fun plot based webcomic. So I can sympathize with cute webcomics like hers. It's honestly not pretentious at all unlike say, XKCD, which is the equivalent of Bill Nye giving a lecture on Global Warming

are you fucking retards overanalyzing a shitty webcomic just because it has some small references to literature?

I mean, it's totally random tumblr style jokes, from the mindset of a girl. But why would you actively follow and start a thread about someone who you dont like.

Her fans aren't here to listen to you, her lit fans dont care what you say, and you are literally just crying about what she does as if it bothers you in any way. Speaks to jealousy on my part.

The effect this difference has is why the ratio of men to women grow exponentially as intelligence increases.

There are plenty of other sources for adults that show the same thing. Here are some:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289606000250
http://iqcomparisonsite.com/SexDifferences.aspx

I suggest you gain a deeper understand of how evolution and natural selection works. You should then realize that there is no such thing as equality. Hence, there will always be societal imbalances, and the fact that there are correlations between different phenotypes within a species is to be expected.

Your "hard data" is irrelevant, and you have done nothing to prove otherwise. You've implied a correlation--a crucial one--between specific IQ test scores and creativity in the arts, without the slightest evidence. There is no more "natural selection" in the current marketplace than there is equality. And I used the word "feel" advisedly. Just because you delude yourself that you're being rational and unbiased doesn't mean that's the case. You're being intentionally obtuse and pretending that your taste in humor is some sort of empirical evidence of quality, or important in any way. I suggest you gain a "deeper understanding" of the actual topic at hand and stop pretending you're a scientist.

>>8448293
I suppose the stock explanation for any such difference is that women were not encouraged, or were not appreciated, or were discouraged from being creative. But I don’t think this stock explanation fits the facts very well. In the 19th century in America, middle-class girls and women played piano far more than men. Yet all that piano playing failed to result in any creative output. There were no great women composers, no new directions in style of music or how to play, or anything like that. All those female pianists entertained their families and their dinner guests but did not seem motivated to create anything new.

Meanwhile, at about the same time, black men in America created blues and then jazz, both of which changed the way the world experiences music. By any measure, those black men, mostly just emerging from slavery, were far more disadvantaged than the middle-class white women. Even getting their hands on a musical instrument must have been considerably harder. And remember, I’m saying that the creative abilities are probably about equal. But somehow the men were driven to create something new, more than the women.

Do you even do research or is everything you say based on nothing but what plebian logic has proven to run circles around those poor souls around you unfortunate enough to be a bit duller than you are?

>Your "hard data" is irrelevant, and you have done nothing to prove otherwise.
You have done nothing to prove it is irrelevant. You also do not seem to understand how arguments of this nature works: the burden of proof lies on the person making the claim. Prompted by your attempt to rebuke an antipated remark by predicting it, I asserted that very remark and provided evidence for it. You have claimed the data is irrelevant after failing to discredit it with logic that shows you lack knowledge of the subject matter. The burden is on you to provide empirical data that refutes my position. Otherwise you have no ground to stand on and should just keep quiet.

>You've implied a correlation--a crucial one--between specific IQ test scores and creativity in the arts, without the slightest evidence.
>"women are just so artistically and intellectually inferior"
>"social imbalances in the arts"
Never once was "_creativity_ in the arts" brought up by either one of us, so if anyone is making that implication, you are. I was talking about the relationship between gender and intelligence. However, now that you have brought it up: intelligence is linked to general creativity, which includes artistic creativity. Being intelligent also allows one to make better use of said creativity.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3682183/

>There is no more "natural selection" in the current marketplace than there is equality.
I wasn't talking about natural selection in the current marketplace, I was talking about the process of evolution via natural selection within the context of the 20 million years of early homonid and later human evolution. The fact that you didn't pick up on this clearly shows how lacking your understanding of this topic is.

>And I used the word "feel" advisedly.
And I made my remark about your usage of the word likewise.

Just because you delude yourself that I'm deluding myself doesn't mean that's the case.

>You're being intentionally obtuse and pretending that your taste in humor is some sort of empirical evidence of quality, or important in any way.
I never once revealed anything about my sense of humor or opinion of Kate Beaton's work, whatever perception you have is all your own assumtion.

>I suggest you gain a "deeper understanding" of the actual topic at hand and stop pretending you're a scientist.
The "actual topic" is about "why are there so many more successful and well-known male cartoonists/writers/artists/everything else then women?". I gave a reason supported with scientific data. Based on our exchange so far I can with confidence say I know a lot more being scientific about something than you do. Do you even know what science is and how, and why, it works?

Anyway, it is clear you are beyond reasoning with.

First you said that data for 13 year old do not carry over to older people, which obviously would have been a stupid argument to make if you researched a bit and saw that this trend stays as people get older. When that failed, you attacked me more directly:

You said the data I provided is irrelevant without even so much as an argument as to why. Then you implied I made a correlation to something I didn't followed by you showing a complete lack of understanding on the topic of evolution, which I only suggested as it would help you understand why this inequality exists. Next you reveal your true colours by trying to employ a series of ad hominem attacks in order to discredit me so you wouldn't have face the more intellectually demanding task of discrediting my argument.

So, tl;dr sorry toots, your bullshit only works on your weak minded gaggle of spineless cucks; tits or gtfo

That was more or less my point, but I'd phrase it as follows:
The general success of women in all creative fields is predominantly a result of the scientific fact that on average women are less intelligent than men and any systemic inequality is an emergent result of this inherent factor of human nature.

but have yet to show any relationship between IQ test scores and success in creative fields, especially comics (since that is the subject of this thread). I never once debated that men score higher than women on IQ tests, I said the fact was irrelevant.
