Monday Morning Flashback


Look, I'm not going to run up-and-down screaming "sexism" or "J'Accuse!" or anything like that.

But it's funny. C'mon.

You have all these JLA'ers in bondage and the focus is on the Canary/WW/Vixen spread-eagle trifecta.

To be fair, an artist many times is given the script -- sans significant "camera angles" -- and is told, simply, "draw something cool."

And so they do.

That said, it is writer Dwayne McDuffie himself -- who I always believe is aware of these cringe-worthy bits of comicbookdom and refers to/apologizes for them in his books, who has the last word:


It's ok, Dwayne, we know it wasn't your idea; you just got the art and had to start scripting it.

  5. Mine too, Rich -- although I'd say it's hardly the Colonel's secret recipe -- it's staring us all in the face, so some of us are bound to pick up on it.

  7. What's with the Power Girl-size honkers on Wonder Woman? Can nobody draw a normal-chested woman?

  8. What is up with Wonder Woman's breasts? If you want to give WW large breasts, fine, but at least take a couple anatomy classes. She looks like a pornstar with regrettable implants.
