Go, Read: Hope Larson’s Survey

The cartoonist Hope Larson has posted results from her not-scientific survey of 198 female readers of comics. She's careful to state that nothing about what she's doing makes for a representative sampling, but the results are so stuffed with matter-of-fact statements and solid ideas I can't imagine anyone caring. For instance, I'd love to see comics retailers come to grips with the basic fact that some people find a lot of funnybook stores deeply uncomfortable places to shop, and that this is exactly the kind of issue where improvements can be made without pointing fingers or shrieking in self-defense that it's not them but by even the stores with no real obvious problems in this area making whatever improvements they might be able to pull off.
