Bio: Roberta Gregory has been creating her own unique comics for over twenty years. She appeared in many issues of Gay Comix/ Gay Comics and self-published Sheila and the Unicorn and Winging It, both of which studied gender issues. She also self-published two of the three issues of Artistic Licentiousness, which she describes as "a sort of bisexual love story."
Roberta is best known in the comic world for her long-running Naughty Bits series, starring the unforgettable Bitchy Bitch, still coming out quarterly from Fantagraphics Books. The latest of five Naughty Bits trade paperbacks, Bitchy Butch: The World's Angriest Dyke , is available, along with most of her other books from Roberta herself. Check out her website for all the details. The new collection, Life's a Bitch , is a wonderful introduction to Roberta's heterosexual heroine.
Also available are: Bitchy Strips a collection of the Bitchy Bitch weekly newspaper strips. The Bitchy Bitch animated cartoons for Oxygen Network have expanded into a third season of half-hour episodes, which were seen all over cable TV (alas, no longer.)
Roberta's newest project is the adorable Real Cat Toons collection, and she has much more in the works, including a new Bitchy Bitch graphic novel and the Mother Mountain series and graphic novel! Visit her website to keep up with what she's doing!

Continuing my Geek-O-Rama convention report, I next attended Comic-Con’s ‘”Spotlight Howard Cruse”. It was not a Prism panel, but might as well have been, as Howard is one the most acclaimed and famous LGBT comic artists ever and an icon for our organization. His Eisner and Harvey award-winning graphic novel, Stuck Rubber Baby has just been reprinted in a 15th Anniversary edition with a forward by Alison Bechdel. This year, Howard attends Comic-Con as a Special Guest of the… HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE PEOPLE OF PRISM!!

[Color Commentary, Posted 8/28/08]
Okay, 'fess up: how many people have you told about the first time you had sex or, by your own definition, lost your virginity? If you're a non-heterosexual person, how do you even define this concept? Would you describe your experiences to someone who was going to turn it into a comic book story?
