Risqué Art in *my* QC? How much is too much?

Aside from the definitions of the id, there was a commercial (for the United Negro College Fund) a while back where the punchline was "A mind is a terrible thing to waste."

Jeph's strip, Jeph's rules. If this is what he wants to draw, fair enough. Personally, I'd be a little less shy about the girl-nipples, but it's not my webcomic.
Honestly, I don't think "risque" is the right term here - it's not like the fact she's topless is being fetishized, which is what "risque" means to me. So they're getting naked, so what? It's a pretty logical thing for them to be doing in the circumstances. That's the point, I think - so long as the treatment of the theme is matter-of-fact and mature, then the decision as to how much flesh to show becomes purely artistic.

Well I knew that second part...
Thanks for the help... being as I'm a computer scientist and not a psychologist, I read that as i.d. XD
