Breer herself takes on the role of superhero in this animation. She draws herself as a caped hero able to fly through the skies, taking on the world with her super-girl pal and wonder dog. She even puts the boy superheroes in their place. This is a moment of the pure ecstatic id taking us for a ride. Breer creates a world where women rule!
