This would have been easier if I could draw.

I really should know better, but I clicked on a link to the DC message boards, topic of the new Frank Miller cover.

In summary... this is why I’m going to stay way the hell over here okay thanks. However, one exchange did catch my attention and would not let me shake it as it might have a sane person.

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

They seem to have shut up for now, but if they start spouting nonesense again can I link them to the pictures? Because this is EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT GODDAMMIT.

Perfect. This is perfect. And also awesome.

*HEARTS YOU MIGHTILY*

Go ahead! This is their whole purpose.

I mean, you wouldn't want crotch-grabbing Superman to be unfulfilled...

+1.

I saw this linked from Boing Boing. I've been a comic fan for years, and was always frustrated by the cleavage=otientednes of the female character design. Other people (guys) would counter that all the guys had six-packs, but could never understand the difference in the sexualization of the female characters.

I <3 you.

These pictures are so very wrong...

rubynye April 20 2006, 04:18:46 UTC

Wow.

I want to comment praising you for the clear message you've transmitted using art, your well-crafted and precise metaphor, or somesuch intelligent comment as you deserve.

But actually? The little green nutsack seam has my brain melting and dripping out my ears.

Wow.

odditycollector April 20 2006, 04:24:21 UTC

Thanks.

(And I figure if Miller gets recostuming privileges, then so do I.)

I love that detail. avatra April 27 2006, 16:14:44 UTC

Your eye just goes RIGHT THERE, and you keep thinking: No. Noooo. Yeah? Nooooo. Nope. Yup.

Re: I love that detail. tiferet May 5 2006, 22:26:04 UTC

Or, in my case, OH HELL YEAH. I am at work and I have to click outta here, because I am tempted to LICK THE SCREEN.

…wow, this is exactly as horrifying as it should be, and also, why you are awesome. Gah! I'm going to go brainpuke now.

odditycollector April 20 2006, 06:04:28 UTC

It's very sad I feel victorious on account of you feeling ill, isn't it.

Sorry to hijack the thread (I was led astray here by kadymae), but that's the best icon evar.

brown_betty April 23 2006, 20:15:11 UTC

Innit neat? Help yourself if you want.

Man, if All-Star Batman looked like that, I might actually pick up an issue.

odditycollector April 20 2006, 05:19:27 UTC

Well, there is Diana's ass... You could pretend Bruce is crossdressing?

You know, for *justice*.

nnaloh May 7 2006, 15:51:52 UTC

Me, too! I don't mind objectification so much; I just don't want it reserved only for women's bodies.

vagabondsal May 10 2006, 22:19:10 UTC

I also like the way the Batman ass pic still contains the iconic utility belt to make sure this is the Batman's tight ass.

Wonder Woman doesn't even get to wear her lasso on her hip.

Damn. I think I love you. Just... yes. Exactly.

::cue ironic use of icon::

odditycollector April 20 2006, 17:42:48 UTC

*considers ironic icon* Is that Harley? I loved that miniseries.

minim_calibre April 22 2006, 16:32:46 UTC

Birds of Prey. Babs swatting Dinah with a towel.

It's slightly less gratuitous in context. Slightly.
