"I've sort of dealt with the characters' lives more; particularly the women characters"

This quote by Gilbert Hernandez suggests that he has actually taken a more thorough look at the lives of the characters in his work, especially the female characters. This could imply that he has actually explored the characters' backgrounds, inspirations, and relationships in higher information than he has with the male characters. It could also mean that he has focused on the female characters' experiences and has a hard time in a manner that he has actually refrained from doing with the male characters. This could be a reflection of Hernandez's own views on gender roles and the importance of female representation in his work. It might also be a reflection of his desire to produce more complex and nuanced female characters in his stories. Eventually, this quote recommends that Hernandez has taken a more thoughtful and intentional approach to establishing the female characters in his work.
