I've been illustrating the best moments of RuPaul's Drag Race all season long. In this week's episode, inspired by Live Aid, the remaining queens sing for their lives. The stage shrinks as dead weight becomes painfully obvious, teetering off the edges. Drag Race drags on. Here, are this week's six best moments, in cartoon majesty. 

This season of RuPaul's Drag Race soldiers on with episode five's "Snatch Game." The game promises to separate the Queens from the Jokers, as the witty and witless alike take center stage. It all happens on Drag Race! My illustrated recap of the show's six best moments is below.

Continuing our weekly illustrated recap of the most fabulous show on TV, in the fourth episode of RuPaul's Drag Race, the competition gets fierce in a dance battle. Ghosts of mothers are present. The whip is cracked. One hundred thousand dollars are on the line. 

This Sunday, we'll find out if nine-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis will be the youngest actress ever to win an Academy Award for Best Actress. There are some solid criticisms of the film, but just for fun, I made this illustrated tribute to Wallis and her character Hushpuppy, who lives who live Louisiana wetlands called the Bathtub in Beasts of the Southern Wild. 

In the third episode of RuPaul's Drag Race, twelve queens remain to fight tooth and nail polish for the crown. In this leg of the competition, a children's show challenge separated the Muppets from the babies. I've illustrated my six favorite moments from episode one and episode two of Drag Race, here's the hits from this season's third glittering installment. 

This Wednesday is Galentine’s Day, the fictional-turned-actual holiday from NBC’s Parks & Recreation, wherein ladyfriends grab brunch and celebrate one another’s awesomeness.  To help get you in the mood, from today through Wednesday Bitch will post two daily Galentine’s cards featuring Parks and Rec characters that I drew for you to share with your friends! 

RuPaul's Drag Race! I watch every episode! Project Runway meets drag queens creates a weekly spectacle so hilarious that I'm unable tear my eyeballs away from the TV screen! Last week, I illustrated my favorite six moments from the Drag Race season premiere. Here are my six picks from the season's second fabulous episode, where talented and insane drag queen performance artists lip-synch for their very lives and 100 grand in prize money!  

I just saw Silver Linings Playbook and loved Jennifer Lawrence's character Tiffany. Loved it so much I made a comic about it.

Whether you're shopping for a long-time comics reader or someone who's new to the world of graphic novels (maybe you're just looking for a good page turner for yourself, we won't tell), click through for some quality 2012 releases of the graphic persuasion.

You deserve comics that highlight women who have made critical contributions to society.

We all deserve history that comes alive. The best stories, to me, are the ones with weird and sometimes awkward details that we can relate to. Illustration in general also makes complex issues and stories easier to digest. It's hard to be interested in stories when you don't see yourself in them, and hard to imagine yourself in a creative field when you don't see room for yourself in it.

I believe strongly that this is work worth making. (Why, you ask? Read more, complete with comics! After the jump...)
