Who first referred to She-Hulk as "Shulkie," and when/where did it happen? My guess would be it was the Human Torch or Spider-Man, but... Did she ever serve in the Avengers with Hawkeye?

She did, right when she first joined. Hawkeye wasn’t too fond of her at first, but I couldn’t really understand why.

From the IMDb:

“On July 6, 2021, the site The Direct reported that there will be "many instances" of Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) breaking the fourth wall, or talking directly to the audience. The report also claimed that Jennifer will even be aware of and acknowledge that she is a character within the MCU. Both of these aspects of the character were a major part of the 1985 graphic novel and continuing comic series entitled The Sensational She-Hulk by writer/artist John Byrne.”

$?

Still don’t know if I got anything for WANDAVISION.

(1985? Groan!)

You should be paid regardless of how awful that trailer looked.

There will be a day when the full impact of your writing is appreciated. And whoever does the story that makes people see it will be hailed as some kind of genius for noticing it.

You have described yourself as a "writer who draws." I think that's the most accurate way to understand your contributions to comics.

I think the writer-in-you has been under-appreciated because the draw-er-in-you draws in such an appealing way!

Thanks!

I’ve mentioned, tho, that most Civilians seem more impressed that I write than that I draw.

I have said this before, but I put you in the company of the Schultzes, Trudeaus and the Wattersons of the profession, where it's incomplete to have one without the other. 
It's almost like it's lip-syncing if it's your art with another writer or vice versa (although I did check out some of your Iron Man run with JRJR after reading how much you enjoyed that collaboration). < id="protanopia"> < id="deuteranopia"> < id="tritanopia">

She-Hulk got bulky and ugly because she now has "confidence"? 

***

I've been reading Jason Aaron's run on AVENGERS, though I've been enjoying it less and less as time goes on. Her intelligence level is the same as it's always been even though she talks in "Hulk smash!" talk because talking normal is now harder for her, for reasons I can't remember. 

Anyway, Jen's thought process is that she enjoys "the freedom to be ugly" and that she's free of "the male gaze" (I'm paraphrasing). And she can still change back to a normal human when she wants.

I wish she'd go back to her old self, but the issue where her inner monologue explains why she embraces being "ugly" didn't make her sound like some total other character.

*****

She actually has gone back to her old self, or is at least in the process of readjusting to something similar to her old life: INTERVIEW: Rainbow Rowell talks charting the ongoing SHE-HULK series (comicsbeat.com)

JB, Is there a department at Marvel or Disney that you call when you believe
you should be compensated for a project based on your work?

Supposedly. Jason Aaron wanted to use the Hulk but was denied, so he turned She-hulk into a clone of her cousin.

A friend just emailed to say she’d listened to a podcast that mentioned the She-Hulk series and my “contribution”. So now she believes I’m “famous”.

:-)
