Dave Sim is not... no, wait... actually he is.

Comic book author Dave Sim is shocked, shocked, that anyone might have gotten the impression from his own words that he is a misogynist. So he's sent out a form letter saying that he'll only talk to people who will sign an online petition or send him an letter affirming that it's not so. Hilarity ensues. Prevously: [1] [2] [3], (also a conversation between Sim and fellow comic book author Gail Simone, known for coining the phrase Women in Refrigerators).

Cerebus creator Dave Sim's new comic glamourpuss

Aardvark Vanaheim presents: The Fabulous World of glamourpuss. Four years after publishing the 300th and final issue of his epic-length Cerebus, comic artist Dave Sim has announced that he is launching a new bi-monthly title debuting April, 2008. The topic? Fashion. In the intervening years, longtime collaborator Gerhard severed ties with Sim's Aardvark-Vanaheim publishing company, and Sim published essays and correspondence in his Blog and Mail website, including contemplations on whether, given popular opinion on his (disputed, at least by him) misogyny, politics, religion and sanity, it would make sense for him to bother even attempting to publish new works. He completed but ultimately canceled a single-volume "secret project" - with an essay that suggested his belief that forces, both worldly and spiritual, were acting against him. But you have to admit that the new project, described as "part haute couture magazine parody that's SO 'six months ago'," part "homage to the classic photorealism black & white 'beyond noir' comic strips of the 1940s and 50s," and part "strangest super-heroine comic book of all time," does sound interesting. Although given Sim's much discussed misogyny, "a train wreck waiting to happen" seems a likely opinion as well. Previously on Metafilter.
