Book
1 page 18 untitled intro to Lotta Kreviss.
Comment alludes to
the fact that the woman in the prior story is depicted identically in every
panel of the story – a parody of the practice of tracing drawings in comics.
A call – back to the worthless bachelor degrees on page 2.
In 1941 DC comics
hired psychiatrist William Moulton Marston to create a character who could be a positive role model for
girls. The resultant creation was Wonder Woman.
Curiously, these stories regularly
contained barely concealed kinky subtexts; catfighting, WW bound in various
positions, WW spanked by domineering female Nazis, WW’s alter-ego, Nurse Diana
Prince, assigned to perform full physicals on the Women’s Army Corp. etc. To
some extent, Lotta Kreviss parodies these wrong – headed, sexist aspects of
Wonder Woman.
