Oh, Sven ...
benji:
For the record, I never meant to imply that your point was invalid, just strange. And I was responding to something that wasn't actually your point (I don't think).
If what you were saying is that it's somehow more problematic for a strait man to portray heterosexual sex acts in his comic then it is for a lesbian to portray lesbian sex acts in hers, that would imply that it is okay for lesbians to make their sexuality public in a way that is off limits to heterosexual men. This is the reverse of how it usually works. People who don't look twice at a strait couple kissing in public react strongly to two women kissing in public. I find this reversal of the double standard a bit odd, but again, it probably wasn't your point.

--- Quote from: KeepACoolin on 08 Feb 2009, 13:04 ---To be fair, I don't think any of the left-column peoples ever really had artistic integrity. Or even artistry, with the possible exception of Eddie Van Halen, who was at least talented. In their defense, I don't think most of them even know what music is supposed to sound like, so you can't really blame them for "selling out." They were out to begin with.

Actually I have it on good report that while most members of the Pussycat Dolls ARE in fact probably tone-deaf, at least one of them is also a classical violist.
That's fairly musical by nature.

Touche. I stand corrected.

Wow. Jeph said "sigh". This must mean he's really exasperated at everyone. But wait. He didn't post in capitals. So he's just kidding. Oh, no, but he also didn't put an exclamation point after it, so maybe this is an acronym meaning "Simple Idiots, Go Home". But he didn't put a smilie face after his comment, so he must be serious.
For the sarcasm challenged, the preceding was sarcasm, tinged with irony, intended to be humor. Or maybe it was humour, with a touch of sarcasm, meant to be ironic.
O hell, whatever!
For Jeph: Sorry. You created the comic and went public. The djinni is out of the bottle. You are now stuck with us, all of us. From the snarky, pain in the ass indie music lovers to the cranky old guys, from the near obessive 'net stalker types who sends you 20+ emails a week with ideas for the comic to the people who horribly mis-interpret EVERY thing you say and do. We're here and we won't go away.
Which is good.
For no matter how much you might get annoyed, frustrated or simply completely dumb struck, you've got FANS, and rather passionate ones. That's way better than many web comics have managed. I have no doubt it's hard work, and there are times you might want to just flee in terror, but you are a damn good artist who is telling a story people want to see and read. I hope you can keep it up for another 1300+ strips.

But I never found the sex scenes to be purely titillating. They build up the individual characters, and part of these characters is that they talk about, and have, sex. Which isn't that unrealistic. In fact, as a woman, I do tend to talk about talk about these things in front of men. So, I just think it's good characterization.

Given the things a couple of my friends have said (and done) while at the pub recently I fully agree with this point. Girls talk and girls shock :P
