Comics (in papers, webcomics, anywhere)

I imagine some of you are following the revived Nancy, now under the care of Olivia Jaimes. She tends not to court the media, so, it was quite pleasing to read this interview with her:

An LJ friend's looking for a comic - does anyone here know?

I'm looking for the name of a newspaper comic strip that ran in the late 80s/early 90s about a tall blonde American man married to a short Japanese woman. It had a very brushy looking ink style to it, and I remember a struggling involved the wife taking her husband to meet the family in Japan. I want to say or was called "Noodles" but I've never found anything under that name.

This is likely wrong but possibly Charisma Man?

I used to follow so many webcomics. Now, it's just xkcd, oglaf, "least I could do" and reruns of "girls with slingshots".

I catch up on "the young protectors" and "girl genius" from time to time.

LOL! Comic book writer Gail Simone made a joke on twitter about the Punisher smiling more and this poor gatekeeper tried to call her out, oblivious to who she is. However, after researching her and realizing his mistake he *did* apologize, it's just sad that women have to be constantly defending themselves in geek culture to "prove" they're legit.

Gail Simone is a punk.

Geek Culture without women would be like Chicken Fried Rice, without the rice.

I generally think of men and women as interchangeable, but I've seen time and time again that community and culture thrive when there are strong smart women participating, if not actually leading it. If it were left up to cishet men only, the result resembles a fan club more than a 'culture'.
