Maybe I Am Going Through A Monica's Gang Phase Right Now - Blog Posts

I know I’ll probably get a lot of angry people about this, but I don’t get what the big deal with Archie comics is. 

It’s so boring. And sexist to boot.

Maybe I’m just spoiled because Brazil has Turma da Mônica and its sister series, I don’t know.

People sitting around  chatting about boy drama seems so boring when you’ve grown up with stories where characters randomly dress up as a giant sausage 

and run around breaking the fourth wall.

With characters of colour:

Mixed heritage:

Marina’s mom is Japanese and her dad’s white

Overweight without it being a punchline:

Low socioeconomic backgrounds:

Who eat:

And have disabilities:

Humberto is mute and uses sign language to speak.

Dorinha is blind and has a service dog, Radar

Cebolinha has a speech difficulties and is one of the main characters in the stories

Luca is the local heartthrob of the neighbourhood and is super into sports

Cascão, another main character, is aquaphobic (scared of water)

And that’s not even going into the spoofs…
