Stilwell -- Feminist art

Another in the series of digitally restored comics from the archives of "Stilwell," which ran in the Cleveland State University student weekly The Cauldron from 1971 to 1973. Feminism emerged as a national movement in the 1970s, an era that saw the marital-status-neutral "Ms." not only become a common courtesy title but also the name of a national magazine. In an effort to beautify some ugly construction fencing, some women's groups on campus organized a painting project that included some feminist sentiments. I don't think the act created any public uproar or opposition from anti-feminists; at least I don't remember anything of that sort. But I used the subject for this "Stilwell," which was published on May 23, 1972. It was also one last shot at the crabby cafeteria lady. Her "Canteen" uniform is a reference to the catering company that staffed the cafeteria at Stilwell Hall on campus.

I think I've hit the skids
