Do you have any artwork by my mother, Barbara Hall? She was a cartoonist for Harvey from about 1940 to about 1943. She drew "Pat Parker, " Girl Commandos," "Honey Blake, the Blonde Bomber," & Probably " The Black Cat." Her work has been featured in Books by Trina Robbins on female cartoonists. Would love to see you have some of her stuff here.

Yes! Check out my Barbara Hall tag here.

Her work on “Pat Parker, War Nurse” is a particular favorite of mine! (Sorry, I have not used Tumblr in ... well, years, so I am just seeing this now.)

Brilliant parody Twitter account/depressing vision of our global future President Supervillain — created by D.M. Higgins, creator of the excellent Jill Trent, Science Sleuth — takes classic Silver Age panels from Marvel comics featuring the Red Skull, erases the text, and then puts in honest-to-god quotes from Trump.

Look, I’m not telling everyone to try putting Trump’s words into the Red Skull’s mouth, I’m just saying it works sometimes.
