In this episode, we talk about Rat Queens vol. 1 & 2, written by Kurtis J. Weibe, and published by Image. Rat Queens is a GLAAD Media Award winner, and has both strong female characters and good LGBTQ representation, but also had a change in artists due to the original artist being arrested. We talk some about that, but have also included links to various reporting in the notes below. https://www.themarysue.com/rat-queens-artist-domestic-abuse/ https://www.themarysue.com/upchurch-no-longer-illustrating-rat-queens/ https://kurtiswiebe.com/2014/11/21/my-statement-on-the-rat-queens-news/ https://www.cbr.com/roc-upchurch-opens-up-about-ramifications-recovery-after-domestic-violence-arrest/ https://www.themarysue.com/not-a-victim-but-a-victor/ Hosted and Produced by: Robyn McGlotten & Tracy Holt Music from https://filmmusic.io: "Beauty Flow" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) Licence: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Website: http://diversityissues.libsyn.com/ Facebook: @Diversity.Issues.Podcast Instagram: @Diversity.Issues.Podcast Twitter: @div_iss_pod Email: diversity.issues.podcast@gmail.com
