Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: I stand corrected, Sir. You are correct. That was insensitive of me and this blog is nothing if it is not politically correct.; June 21, 2010 at 6:43 AM

Margaret Benbow said...: Why is it that these action heroines all have huge chests like globes of the world? Why can't an action heroine be a skinny little gal with a chest like a couple of Chiclets?; June 21, 2010 at 8:59 AM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: I hear what you are saying Margaret. I don't make the rules, I just enjoy them.

I sometimes wonder if this unrealistic portrayal of woman makes the comic geek undatable because no ordinary girl can compare but then I realize the real reason.

It's insanely impractical to go around doing super hero stuff with those costumes and looking like they do. How the male heroes hide their erections in those tight outfits is beyond me.

I tend to think of both comic book sexes as stories about gods and that helps me get by the perfection and exaggeration of their looks.

And I like Chicklet Girl. She's all right.; June 21, 2010 at 9:27 AM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: Oh and speaking of kid's coloring Budd. I gave my neice a couple of those huge black and white ESSENTIAL books highlighting the first Spider-Man comics when she was about five. She colored only the Spider-Man parts. At first, yeh, it looks like a mess, but after the first volume its fantastic to see how much she has progressed. He looks better than in some books and the fact that only he is colored and colored perfectly makes looking at those Essential volumes wickedly cool.; June 21, 2010 at 9:35 AM
