Sigh…. I could go on and on about how stupid artists are when they draw a woman’s boobies in comics. Among the top complaints about unrealistic boobage would be A) That they are perfect in circular symmetry. Round like friggin’ cannon balls. And, B) the spandex suit hugging the under part of the boobie as if it’s been glued with some sort of superhero epoxy gel!

Lookie here. Now… what boob looks like that? I don’t care if she has California Double-D teflon coated silicon power packs, no supermodel or stripper or porn star or rejected house wife has that type of perfectly circular cannonballs for melons. Uh uh. It just doesn’t make sense and is totally outside the realm of your average geek suspending disbelief.

Now look at complaint B! Check out those Easter Eggs!! Notice how the uniform adheres to underside of the belly of the boob? We have some majore suction going on there. I’ve outlined it in case you’re distracted. You know what? … suits and spandex don’t do that. You know what they do? They either squish the boob, (if the outfit is too tight) creating a nice down hill ski slope on the under-belly, or, in the case of a snug or even loose t-shirt situation, a tent is formed where the shirt comes away from the boobie for a brief span before making contact again with the lower part of the rib cage. Like this.

Notice that the boob are quite exceptional and the shirt is no paper bag and the portion under the boobies has the t-shirt “draping” instead of “clinging.” But comic artists, except for Alex Ross, never getthis right. They have to go and make all of us comic geeks look like we’re a bunch of idiot, sex crazed, dorks. … And the fact that we are idiot, sex crazed, dorks is completely beside the point. We just don’t haveto advertise it with unrealistic clingy tops on babes. Yeah, it looks hot, but come on. Let’s get real here.

Now… granted… being a pig-dog bastard of a male, I’m only complaining on a “technical level”. I’m not raising a fuss on an artistic level. Overall, my pig-dog genes give out and I fall prey to the damn comic drawings like every other geek out there. I can’t help it… I like big fake breasts and I LOVE this picture of Powergirl. Hey! Don’t blame me!! If I would have never flown First Class I would never insist on having it again and I’d be content in Coach, bitching and moaning like everyone else but still oblivious to First Class. If those silicon beauties were never flaunted in front of me, I wouldn’t know any better either.

But sometimes enough is enough. For example… Lady Death. Jaysus!! Will you look at those? That’s just crazy drawing there. Way too big. At a certain point it’s like, “Woah… come out of your mom’s basement Mr. Comic Book Artist, you’re just too far lost in fantasy land. Reign it in a bit.” KnowwhatI’mtalkin’bout?

… Freaky… the face kinda looks like a guy’s. … like Franke-n-Furter from Rocky Horror Picture Show.
