Treating girls and women as less than human is not behavior contained to developing or middle-income countries like India and South Africa. Next month in Steubenville, Ohio, high school football stars Trent Mays and Malik Richmond go on trial for the rape of a 16-year-old girl last August. She was also raped repeatedly and carried unconscious from party to party, her body hauled by her limbs. Photos were tweeted and put on Instagram. In a 12-minute video made that night, another party-goer, Michael Nodianos, turned the assault into a stand-up routine, laughing at his own jokes about the “dead girl.” A sampling: “She’s deader than O.J.’s wife.” “She is so raped right now.” Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said last week that he didn’t have enough evidence to charge Nodianos with a crime.

“The Niagra Girl,” who appears in many female guises, would come to represent feminist swagger wich drop dead gorgeous looks and an equally dangerous demeanor. Hard-boiled tough talking gals who would rather dispatch a man than put up with any of his antics. Her bold and colorful post-pulp comic strip countenances of femme faales in various depictions of malfeasence was culturally solidified by Callie Khoury’s Thelma and Louise, which shares a kindred spirit with Naigra’s subjects, along with pin-up girls like Bettie Page and the bad side of 40’s and 50’s film icons such as Bette Davis, Lauren Bacall and Jane Greer.

angrygirlcomics: someday I’m gonna piece together an anthology called “Men Who Deserve to be Killed: Street Harassers” or w/e and it’s going to entirely consist of stories of men who catcall me and their untimely violent creative deaths. true story of this comic: I was sitting in Washington Square Park, drawing my webcomic, minding my business, when this gross motherfucker who’d been creeping on me silently comes and fucking SITS ON THE BENCH NEXT TO ME and then starts this passive aggressive coughing shit, progressively getting louder. The entire time I kept my head over my sketchbook and didn’t so much as glance in his direction, vowing silently that if he even so much as utters a single word to me I would actually give him the biggest verbal smackdown of his entire privileged life, but he didn’t say anything. He just cleared his throat and then after five minutes of no response got up and left in a huff. and of course I was so fucking pissed I stopped drawing my webcomic and instead sketched this little number. putting an imaginary bullet through his asshole skull helped so much with my sanity.
