So after I finished art school in Arizona, I moved to San Francisco, and then two weeks later I met Robert, and I had a strange sinking feeling that my destiny was sort of going to be forever entwined with his, and he looked at me and said, you have cute knees, and all he felt was lust and didn't think anything more. That's my version. Well, that's pretty much how it was, yeah.
I got a hard time from the other feminist cartoonists for going out with Robert. That was like a disaster.

Well, I was really happy that somebody liked my physical type, finally. I was really flattered that that was his ideal woman.

Well, it corresponded with my own sick masochism. But aside from that, I thought that a cartoonist had no right to tell me who to go out with and how to conduct my personal life. And in real life, Robert was my best fan, the most supportive person ever.

I could have ever been with in terms of my work and even though being with him may have affected the public's perception of my work it didn't affect my desire to work at all because he was such a supportive person to live with always like he laughs at my stories more than anybody and harder he falls on the ground laughing so hard I do it's true she makes me fall on the ground but the feminist cartoonist she'll say I'll be falling on the ground she'll say what's wrong you get up get off the ground what are you doing down there

But in the early women comics, there were some very angry women, and they really hated and resented Robert's work. When I started going out with him, they started to ice me out, and then they started to reject my comics from their books, saying that they weren't feminist enough. My feminist consciousness was not evolved enough. and Diane Newman was also in that group.

I brought her into that early group also. We met, and I really liked her, and I liked her work, and then she started going out with Bill Griffith, so she was also iced out, and they called us camp followers, as a matter of fact, in an article in the Berkeley Barb.
