pktechgirlbackupDid you know that if you google "that asshat who can't draw feet", the first three hits are all Rob Ledfield? Because Rob Liefeld cannot draw feet. Or women. He strengths lie more in the "pouches and crosshatches" area.
The first of those hits is The Forty Worst Liefeld Drawings of All Time, which is excellent, and recently produced a sequel. It's funny on its own merits, but it also has a sort of Hal Sparks feminist vibe to it. They're not trying to make a political point or rail against the patriarchy, but they assume that you are an adult who knows that women's waists are usually bigger than their thighs and that there is no reason a combat uniform would highlight the exact transition from pubic mound to vulva, and will be offended that someone who does not know these things makes more money than people who do. If they're angrier over that than his complete inability to draw feet, it's only because there's only a few ways to fuck up drawing feet, but an apparently limitless number of ways to draw women wrong.
Anyways, these are my favorite quotes:
"This is also another concerning example of Liefeld not knowing that the two halves of the butt are supposed to work together to make one thing, and aren't just pecs at the end of the legs"
"Rob Liefeld, never having met a woman in real life before, assumes that a strong female character sits in such a way as to greet the rest of the world crotch-first"
"Is your left calf supposed to be slightly thicker than your waist? I submit to you that probably not."
