While the slight to the history of women in comics is inexcusable, I love that the playing field is so much more level now with webcomics so easy to produce. Male-female teams are becoming common, like the couple who create Two Lumps (hilarious if you know what housecats are REALLY like). Multi-artist teams like the creators of Menage A 3 now seem to routinely include at least 1 female artist and/or writer. Girls with Slingshots, a spinoff from Something Positive, was entirely produced by a woman for 10 solid years, and is now in reruns with the original black-and-white strips colored. Maybe soon women in webcomics will be able to stand up and demand that their artistic sisters' contributions to print comics and history be portrayed openly and accurately.
