Shaenon Garrity’s “Perils of the Lady Gamer” comic

Shaenon Garrity, who made the quite entertaining webcomic Narbonic, which ran from 2000 through 2006, has posted a new comic titled Perils of the Lady Gamer. It takes a look at the situation for women who attend game conventions — and yes, it takes a well-earned jab at the Penny Arcade guys, PAX, and the “dickwolves” mess as well as the completely-made-up “fake geek girl” syndrome — through a turn-of-the-previous-century lens. Here’s a sample:

And surprise, surprise, it also happens in the programming world.
