Where do gamer girls go to get their kicks? The head straight to Jennie Breeden's Web site to catch the latest installment of The Devil's Panties, a comic written for the discerning female gamer.
Breeden is certainly catering to a niche market, but in the past few years she's made enough money off the site and the products she sells to quit her day job and travel around the country, jumping from con to con.
Her comic strips are autobiographical and deal with important issues like sneaking up behind men wearing kilts and whooshing them with a leaf blower and finding the perfect pair of flamed biker boots.
In person, Breeden is everything her fans expect and more, with her black t-shirts and real-life biker boots, flames working their way up the sides. As girls pass her booth and her wares, she will often thrust a card with her URL at them saying, "This comic strip is about you."
The thing is, with girls making up a minority of the people interested in all things geek: anime, comic books, science fiction and horror movies and books, video games, and role playing, Breeden's strip and myriad of t-shirts and coffee mugs really are about her readers, and her.

I LOVE The Devil's Panties, have linked it to my website, have all the books, some coffee cups, key chains, temporary tattoos, wooden nickels, playing cards--it's wonderful, hilarious, real, and makes wonderful points about women, gaming, cartoons, relationships, clubbing, hangovers, creativity and the creative lifestyle, families, travel, friendship--in other words, like all good creative people, Jen gets in a lot of stuff that everyone can relate to, not just gamers, comics buffs, and con junkies. I think she's wonderful, and think it's great to find another fan!

tamora,
It's also a lot of fun to talk to her at cons. I interviewed her for a local piece I did last year at Megacon in Orlando. Her sister also does a webcomic, but it's more irreverent.
