Is that piece where female characters were drawn in cliche male poses and male characters were drawn in cliche female poses still on the web?
While I was looking for it, I found this essay, a history of how gender has been drawn in comics and funnies-- I'd seen the older beautiful woman and goofy-looking man combination before, but never thought about it. The author of the essay just has it as a mystery for why, for quite some decades, this was a standard thing in comics drawn by men.
Addendum:The link I was looking for, thanks to
