The other link I added to my sidebar besides the infamous Rule is a piece by Cathy Leamy called
the Paper Mirror. That this is so unknown and unreferenced is absolutely criminally. I'm not sure where she got the title, but I really think the phrase "Paper Mirror" should be in regular use when we discuss diversity in comics. It describes exactly what many of us have been trying to say in letters and message board conversations and thirteen-paragraph blogposts.
What an excellent article. I had never heard of the term, but it is so...so perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love this and will link to it as well. The term should be in use wherever we discuss diversity.
