The Anti-Girlfriend patrols the city, searching for bullshit. (Another FEMA Fatale illustration)
Ever since I started this “Anti-Girlfriend” undertaking several months ago, I’ve been asked, “What does that even mean?”

When I first conceived of this site after discovering that no one owned this domain name (!) I kept envisioning her as some sort of superhero with a cape and special powers. I don’t know why this was the image that immediately entered my head– I’ve never been interested in comic books. But for whatever reason, I kept seeing her in comic form and decided to go with it.
