Here it is again:<BR/><BR/>How do I know that I put more effort in than 99% of them?<BR/><BR/>I know this because my body fat and strength levels are in the upper 10% of average people for my age. Taking into account that most people who read comics are geeks, and that most geeks are unathletic, i have judiciously upped that stat placing myself in the 99th percentile of geeks.<BR/><BR/>I'm talking SO much crap. =)<BR/><BR/>No, I don't really know how they feel. I don't feel threatened nor intimidated by the depiction of men in comics. It's fantasy. It's fun. It's an exaggeration making a clumsy, innocent and amusing point.<BR/><BR/>Reading Ross Campbell's "The Abandoned" (thank you David W!) and there is some incredibly refreshing body types in that. And he still manages to make them attractive...jasonbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10536124614940286712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28472448.post-1160983411405236342006-10-16T17:23:00.000+10:002006-10-16T17:23:00.000+10:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.jasonbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10536124614940286712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28472448.post-1160867011589654572006-10-15T09:03:00.000+10:002006-10-15T09:03:00.000+10:00Cowgirls in Space!

But the geologist's arm is so sculpted it makes Michaelangelo's David look flabby.<BR/><BR/>I guess it comes down to genre expectations - put a guy that muscled into a Ross Campbell or Adrian Tomine comic and he would be Hercules. Put him into X-Men and he's Joe Normal.<BR/><BR/>As for unrealistic female comic characters: Mischa Barton's proportions are no more realistic than Witchblade's. The difference is Barton doesn't dress and pose like a teenager's wank fantasy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28472448.post-1160828623917930382006-10-14T22:23:00.000+10:002006-10-14T22:23:00.000+10:00Better you than me, that's for sure!I don't get th...Better you than me, that's for sure!<BR/><BR/>I don't get the comments of critisisums about how characters look.
