I lived in Redondo Beach and in the South Bay area, played music in Orange County. That word is just a button pusher. I tried to make it really irreverent, using that term. But if a guy's sexually active, it's admired and he's a stud. It's all fictional characters, strictly my imagination.
People are afraid.
I'm just doing stories about what really happened to me and it's not anything different than what you'd find in a bookstore. You'll find plenty of graphic sex in there, but there's just something about a woman drawing it. I believe that for the comics industry to stay alive they're going to have to get women readers. So women like to read, but women don't like to go into comic book stores. In a lot of bookstores like Borders, they're starting to have a graphic novel section.
