En este ensayo analizo dos historias donde aparece el personaje de Isabel Maria “Izzy” Ortiz Ruebens - “Flies on the Ceiling” (1989) y la historieta publicada por entregas “Maggie” (2001-2004) – a través de las teorías del “feminismo sombrío”, del fracaso, de la autonomía queer, y otras teorías de lo “antisocial”. Demuestro que el comportamiento solitario, caprichoso, turbado, y comportamiento “brujesco” de Izzy no es simplemente trágico o insociable como han argumentado otros críticos. Es más, la trayectoria de este personaje ofrece una oportunidad para crear maneras distintas de amistad y feminidad que pueden ser liberadoras en su resistencia radical contra lo comprensible y lo pragmático.
