I'd love to see more equal representation of female and male cartoonists on the comics page.

It's only recently women got to be action heroes on TV. Progress is slow, and often non-existent. There's plenty of cool comics with female characters... But all it takes is one Catwoman to set the cause back a decade.

I think women are vital to the future of the superhero comics and the entire industry - as creators, as editors, as consumers, as retailers.

I think a lot of studios today are run by women, and we are entering a time when a lot of women have evolved in Second City and Upright Citizens Brigade and wanted to become writers and comedians.

I realized that people make cartoons for a living. It had never dawned on me that you could do this as a career.

You know, comics were created at the same time as the cinema. And the cinema very quickly became a major art. Cartooning didn't become a major art. There's a reason for that. People don't know how to deal with drawings.

I think as time goes by you'll get female comics who are weirder - you'll get a female Mighty Boosh.

I hope and believe we are paving a better future for female artists to come.

I'd love to see more women working as directors and producers.

There are 10-20 times more male comics than female comics; it's something to do with the social structure of society.
