About
Welcome to “The Adventures of Gyno-Star!” Follow the adventures of Gyno-Star, the world’s favorite — and possibly only — explicitly feminist superhero, as she fights the forces of evil and male chauvinism.
“The Adventures of Gyno-Star” is a gag-a-day comic, but it also has an ongoing story with distinct arcs which are pretty self-contained. Story arcs can be read and enjoyed in any order without confusion (check out the right sidebar to see a list). But for maximum enjoyment you should read straight through from the beginning.
New comics are posted whenever they’re finished. Sorry — I’ve tried to maintain a consistent update schedule, but I can’t seem to stick to it. I aim for one update a week, usually on Thursday or Friday. If you don’t want to keep checking back for updates, I recommend following me on Facebook or Twitter (see below), or you can subscribe via email (right sidebar). That way you can be sure not to miss an update.

Like your site now, it works better and it is easier to view past strips. And the color is cool. Going back and reading your earlier strips seems, well, so monochromatic, mood-wise. As an avid comic reader, I love finding new strips. I still remember the first time Calvin and Hobbes, For Better or Worse, and Far Side debuted in the Wash Post. However, let me leave you with one critique: your “About” page needs some help. Someone who comes to this page is going to want to find out about you, maybe how you got started, early strips (if there was an earlier version of Gynostar) or where you first went with your cartoons. (Reading the first five Nature’s Way strips by Gary Larson is a real treat for those of us who call ourselves fans.) I know you as Demosthenes on BS, but I wanted to know how you got started, which is fascinating. Knowing I can buy stuff or share you on FaceBook is not.
Thanks for the feedback, Val. I appreciate it.
I just discovered this comic, and I wanted to say that is funny and awesome, which means, you are funny and awesome! Keep it up!
Thank you so much!
Recently discovered this webcomic, and I’m addicted as hell. I don’t know a whole lot of explicitly feminist webcomics – can you recommend some? So far I only know Sinfest (got openly feminist last year) and Viruscomix (sometimes).
Would love to support you, but I don’t see a flattr button or anything?
In any case, I’ll continue to spread the word!
I’m so pleased that you’re enjoying the comic. I never heard of Flattr before, but I’ll certainly look into it. In the meantime, I added a “Donate” button. Thanks for the suggestion.
As for other feminist webcomics, I believe there are a few out there. There are certainly some that touch on feminist topics now & then. “Hark A Vagrant” is well known, and Kate or Die! is another good one.
