Some folks asked me to Tumblr yesterday’s DORK TOWER.
Consider it Tumblr’d!
BTW: The line “Boobs don’t work that way” in the comic is a nod to one of my favorite Tumblrs: http://boobsdontworkthatway.tumblr.com
Hey That’s us!
( You’re our favorite too.)
A perfect breakdown of the excuses for ridiculous depiction of women in comics (and by extent, other pop media), including the all-time favorite arguments like “she’s liberated and/or sexy”.
Congratulations for the always-awesome boobsdontworkthatway for getting a shout out! 😀
It seems worthwhile to bring this one back for Throwback Thursday, since our theme for a the past week seems to have been big name creators who are determined to transform this strip from commentary into documentary.
Though what really bugs me is the creators in this one are actually better behaved than the mainstream counterparts – they’re not calling for a crusade against critics or drawing more deliberately terrible content for attention.

Speaking of things randomly glued to the nipples…

I don’t know if you’ve seen it, there’s a pink-hair deadface girl dressed in one banana and two strawberries D:
May be of interest for your blog.
Onechanbara seems to be a franchise where they sort of do reverse brainstorming. They scribble down every idea that comes to their head, then they throw out the good ones and try to make the bad ones worse. I mean, those costumes look pretty terrible but they’re not much of a leap from the regular costumes.
In addition to the ridiculous fruit costumes, this latest installment seems to feature antagonist who appears to be black girl with a chain around her ankle… what could possibly go wrong?
