Narbonic! Hells, yeah. I did an archive binge through the entire strip, twice.
Wow! That was really pretty brilliant!
Perfect.
Never heard of this comic before, I might have to check it out.
AMAZING.
Also, “Harridan of Social Justice” makes a very apropos ‘nym.
I’m pretty sure Part 1 pre-dated ‘Gamergate” as a thing unto itself, but the follow-up is an excellent demonstration of just how far… I was going to say ‘off the rails’, which is a horrible pun considering the strip itself, so I’m just going to say, ‘utterly and pathetically absurd’ the whole anti-women-in-gaming this has become.
Yup, all this over ninepins. :-/
This is at least as great as the first one!
Brill.
Not really steampunk though, just historical fiction.
I’ll also recommend her currently ongoing strip, Skin Horse, which also takes place in the Narboniverse, although far away from Helen, Mel and Dave.
Also, her recap of The X-Files is hilariously snarky.
Now all that’s left is for Hark! A Vagrant to give us their take.
Oh my word, is that Davis Aurini (and/or Anton LaVey) in the ninepins crowd??
I’m pretty sure these comics are way older than “gamergate”, maybe even by years. Not that it makes any difference, people haven’t changed since then. *sigh* sometimes I’m really glad I’m not a woman…
That. Was. Magnificent.
This cartoonatrix has outdone her fair gender by thunderous, Grand National-worthy leaps, in the production of this humourous assemblage of pictorial japery. Er, not to imply that there is anything horsey about the dear lady, far from it, in fact her figure and shapely ankles give me strange feelings in my unmentionables, so of course her ideas must also be fair, that is simply Science as we know it.

I wonder, was this inspired by anti-suffrage cartoons like these? I certainly got a “the more things change” vibe when I was perusing them.
@tbtabby; Those were interesting cartoons, but holy hell, that was a vile site. I made the mistake of perusing some of his other entries there and now I feel soiled.
…That fits shockingly well.
I’m pretty sure you’re wrong. You know, what with “Reverent Tundergation’s” revival and such.
No, these are definitely older than GamerGate. A quick google (which is all I have time to do right now, as I’m at work) shows the earliest mentions of this comic in Feb. 2014. It references the Penny Arcade “dickwolves” debacle, but otherwise it’s depressing how much the narrative fits with this newest wave of anti-woman harassment. Really, that should be the GamerGate motto: Same Shit, Different Day Hashtag.
…. Erp! Looks like we’re all correct. Part 1 is from February, Part 2 is a sequel directly referencing GamerGate.
Also, I messed up my html in the last comment. The GamerGate slogan should be Same Shit, Different
DayHashtag.I loved Narbonic.
These strips seem right on target. The problem is that they’ve been right on target for over a hundred years now.
