Things We Saw Today: Marceline the Munny Queen

A sweet Marceline figure from Etsy user SciurusCustoms. They’ve also got a Korra and a few other nerdy munnies you might dig. 

• Sexy Loki, Queer Tricksters, and the Problem with LGBT Villains (via Comics Alliance)
• A nice interview with Trina Robbins over at Comic Book Resources about her upcoming Fantagraphics book, Pretty In Ink: North American Women Cartoonists 1896-2013.
• Heidi MacDonald writes “Comics have hit puberty…and it’s not pretty” over at The Beat. It covers some recent events in the comic industry concerning creator Tess Fowler naming a comics professional who harassed her (and possibly others) and calling on all comics professionals, men and women, to work to keep harassment from being a dirty industry secret.

OMG THE CUTE! Fernanda Abarca Cakes has even more How to Train Your Dragon-inspire baked goods. (via That’s Nerdalicious)
