ConSequential Podcast 63 - Objectification also butts I guess

Podcast 63 - Objectification / #Butts

October 19, 2016

Just like he kinetically charges his playing cards, Gambit sexually charges this chunky Scandinavian-style knitwear, courtesy of artist and comics-doer Dave Barker.

We're joined in this episode by Hester Wells, the only guest we've ever had who has her own biographical comic that she didn't draw herself (specificity, yo), to help us out with the thorny topic of objectification, particularly in mainstream comics.

This episode is groaning with comics, throbbing with intellectual discussion and glistening with salty language.

We covered:

  • Oishinbo - Tetsu Kariya and Akira Hanasaki
  • Heavy Air - Lizzy Stewart (Shortbox)
  • Your Black Friend - Ben Passmore (Shortbox)
  • Blame - Tsutomu Nihei
  • Side by Side - Mioki
  • Julia Gfrörer:
    • Black is the Colour
    • All is Lost
    • The sheets were all be-bled with the blood
    • The Deep Ones (with Sean T. Collins)
    • River of Tears
    • Phosphorus
    • World Within the World
    • The Voynich Manuscript
    • Spirit Hand
    • See also: The 39 Ryan Goslings
    • Also a cool series on women’s labour and the fashion industry
    • Giant Days - John Allison/Lissa Treiman/Max Sarin
    • Tetris - Box Brown
    • A comic about being objectified
    • The Omega Men - Tom King and Barnaby Bagenda
    • Vision - Tom King and Gabriel Hernandez Walta
    • Daredevil - Charles Soule and Ron Garney
    • Young Avengers - Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie
