Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT

tomart:
btw, Danielle Corsetto's webcomic Girls With Slingshots is deliciously naughty. Jeph recommended it awhile ago, and I can only agree. She does have a flair for expressive faces, and teasing the censorship lines (which I always enjoy) and also gets webcomic-incestuous, like with Something*Positive's Choo-choo bear (the pink malleable cat seems to be the father of GWS' new kittens...!)
These webcomicists do get around, don't they? Their world looks like fun, from here.
ESL - my first guess was eat shit, loser... sorry! Urban Dictionary to the rescue, again :-)
Gee, with that and wikipedia, any isolated loner like Marigold or me can keep up. :-(
And I'm guessing the snot is from the realization of how rediculous what she was doing was... Maybe more self-aware than some give her credit for. ...Or, her sinuses still loosened up from the crying. Whatever.

"deliciously naughty" ?
I only saw the first douzen of strips and it already has a 10 - year old boy who talks all the time about sex.
A TEN YEAR OLD !
I didnt had a clue what sex is until 14, for heavens sake.
And I hated boobs until then, too.
tomart:
(I grew up on a farm; sex was just part of life, you know?)
If I recall correctly, that ten-yr-old boy with the sex-obsession turns out to have a mother who fervently pretends sex doesn't exist, for some rediculous Religious reason. So I think Danielle is suggesting something important about how the drive gets perverted by repression..? Most of GWS' main characters talk about sex and relationships all the time, Clarice works in a porn shop, and besides the obligatory gay characters, one whole recent plot arc shows us two lesbians' dating adventures. And I find all that refreshingly, deliciously liberating. (Do any of us still read The Family Circus?)
Thank GOD we've advanced to where we can acknowledge reality, at least online... :-) Yay Freedoms!
Of course, she and Jeph still have to keep their strips "family-friendly" (whatever the FUCK that means, today!?) or face God-awful pressures, retribution, etc. (Like, we still can't draw a boob... one of the first things a baby sees, but it is deemed VERBOTEN by The Moral Guardians.) Who are we protecting, and from what?
(/soapbox)
btw, snub, I've always appreciated your sig - True Dat, Bro.
snubnose:
Sorry, most of the stuff you describe is OK, but a 10 year old boy who talks about sex, thats not cool. He hasnt even a working sex drive yet, for heavens sake.

By the way, Davin from Something Positive does get around... (second panel)
