I'm kinda wondering a lot now what Marigold will do now.

I mean, even she should know that a woman with such an "equipment" can basically get any man she wants.


Not necessarily - having giant boobs does not make you absolutely irresistible. I am sure we all know plenty of large-busted women (who range from thin to fat) that have trouble getting the men (or women) they want. Also there are people who just like smaller boobs.
Personally I like just enough for a handful, even though I have large hands for a girl, that still only makes it about a C-D cup. Otherwise they are just overwhelming!

Oh and just to throw my opinion in there about the "breasts in the comic" debate, I think there is nothing wrong with Jeph's depiction. All the characters are young, still experimenting a bit in their romantic lives, it is only natural to talk quite a bit about physically attractive features. We also know that Dora is very open about her interest in other people both male and female so this is hardly a new character trait. I do not think very many people at that point in their lives really sit around and think about whether what they say is or is not encouraging objectification of any gender.

I agree about pretty much everything in your post.

1.Every girl I know with big boobs hates them. Also big =/= nice. I'm happy with my B/C cup since they are fairly perky and round; I would definitely not trade them for a full C/D, or anything beyond, at the risk of them being saggy or just plain gauche and tacky (which is how I see fake boobs).

2. Dora thinks everyone is cute and she just likes boobs, man. That's Dora.

Re: Boobs
As a guy, I can't say I've ever seen a pair of boobs that I couldn't find something I like about.

My wife has generous boobage, and she hated them when she was younger.
My sis-in-law has a tiny pair, and hates them. Thinks everyone judges her poorly because of them.

IMHO, most women hate something they see in the mirror. Gok Wan has made a career out of this.

I appreciate that Jeph's characters have a variety of boobies and a variety of attitudes about them.

You must not know the men I know.

They range from "only wanting to bed glossy-haired model-thin types and not a pound over" to "only wanting to sleep with someone with whom they are intimately compatible in terms of interests, politics, and personality" to "only attracted to Asian/black/Jewish/Latina girls" to "only attracted to hot, tattooed, super self-confident alt chicks" to "only attracted to sweet, immaculately-dressed country-club girls."  None* of them would ever consider Maribear, no matter if she were wearing the world's best push-up bra. Life's not that simple.

*Er, none of the ones I mentioned above. Some others I know probably would, of course.

I'm a bitch!

You should spend more time being offended by Marigold's character "development" after drawing parallels between her relationships with Angus and Faye compared to Marten's track in his relationships with Faye and Dora (short version: the guy pretty quickly gets over himself and dates someone else; the chick refuses to take the hint and is becoming steadily more unstable/unlikeable).

Actually, it's spelled "Stevelore".

Care to actually respond to my point, or are you just going to stick with validating it?

Oh, see, when your point began by calling me a bitch, I sort of figured it wasn't worth reading what you had to say.

Kind of hard to take that stance if you took the time to post a half-ass response to begin with. You obviously read it.

Jeph, For a point of reference, I'm male, age 54.  I like YOUR universe.  Your universe may not have the same rules as my universe, but if all universes were alike, how boring would that be.  Keep up the good work and I'll keep following YOUR universe.

If I want porn, I know where to find that. If I want a good story that has interesting characters, that interact in both human and humerous ways, I know where to find that, too. (c8

Get, yes, frequently that is true. Keep? Now that's quite another kettle of fish. And the kind of guy who'll follow you home just because of your DD chest generally stinks worse (metaphorically speaking) than that same kettle of fish. I strongly doubt that Marbear would really be happy at all with a string of one-night stands, despite her desperate belief that at least that would be better than nothing.

Though, I am a half-a-Marbear so I may tend to project on her... (bit more socially, er, ept (several romantic relationships including having been married), bit older, bit longer hair and only one ponytail).

Thas da one!
Hey, I'm not that evil.  :-P Plus I only remember that one time we've disagreed!  Snubnose is my nemesis on these boards.
Godsdammit. I thought I was your nemesis. Work like a sonavabitch snooze for two weeks, and look what happens.

Stevelore, if you want to bitch and whinge about breast obsession, you should...wait, cancel that. Adam would hex you, then me. The latter worries me.

As for Marigold leaving the party, what the hell else was she supposed to do? She finds out that not only did Angus not want her advances, but both he and Faye knew she was out without a chance from the start. I suppose there are some poeple who could blow it off, sit there, caress their solid brass balls, and have a good time even while finally understanding the full magnitude of their foolishness, but Marigold's not one of them. No shame in that—I ain't, either.

On the other hoof, if I were Angus, I'd have a terrible time telling her about it. I think we'd imagine things would go something like this: "Hey, kid, you know how you already don't have much self esteem and want to sit in your room all day and have, my god, just now started to emerge? Well, guess what? I was hot for another girl all the time! Oh, yeah, babe, she had just skedaddled out of embarrassment when you made your big, drunken, hand-on-the-titty move! Ain't that a helleva chuckle? Whatcha gonna do now? What? Never ever come out again? Sounds good! Hey, Momo, work out how we can slide the pocky under the door!"

But that, too, is just me. And maybe him.

I get the idea, scanning over the forums these last couple of weeks, that some of us in these here forums ain't much for vulnerable people. But, like 'em or not, they exist. Worse, some of them don't act appropriately, make good decisions, have any idea how to get along with others, or even how to interact at all. (Pains in the ass they are, selfish bitches, for self-assured, take-no-prisoners, reeking with confidence, hard-boiled, highly social types.) Anyway, for better or worse, Marigold seems to be one of those insufferable vulnerable people. But she laughed at being told she has nice tits (Stevelore, you have so liberated me today!  :-D), and that tells me she's going to grow, including some hide, and someday be able to play just like everyone else.

But that's just, well, you know.

They can also be very painful on your back as well. I know a couple of girls who are going to get them reduced purely because they cannot take the pain any more. As for sizing, it can vary from country to country. In Australia, I am fitted anywhere from a B-cup to a DD but they do not look huge, and I try to hide them as much as I can anyway. Smaller ones than mine are better, I just wish I could purposely lose weight in my boobs without surgery or making them saggy.
Oh and fake boobs are terrible. THOSE AREN'T BOOBS! THEY'RE LIES!

What about make-up?  Or shaping bras or stylized outfits?  As someone who benefited greatly from reconstructive plastic surgery after a bad accident, you start to look at "natural" in a cynical light ;P



Not that I'm a fan of huge boobs, fake or otherwise.  Pertness >>> size and smaller boobs are (generally) more pertly, longer.  So I disagree with Snubnose on "any man she wants" although she could easily use them to get some man.

Thing is, all a girl needs to get SOME man is to be willing, and undiscriminating. It matters very little what you look like: if you put it out there, and you're willing to go with any potential taker, you'll get a guy.

The trouble comes when you don't want ANY man, but a PARTICULAR man. Then, even if you're a Maxim cover model, your chances are still up in the air. Particular men have particular quirks and considerations, and no matter how hot you are, you do not get a guarantee that you can get any one specific man.

Now then, if you're hot and willing, and rather than wanting any specific guy, you just want anyone who fits a certain criteria of looks or whatever... sure. If you're willing to make the first move, and put it out there, you will get a good percentage of the guys you're interested in.  You'll get them, all right, but... still no probability that you'll keep them.  If all you want is casual sex, you're set, but if you want a relationship--no one, no matter how good looking or willing or sociable they are, has the guarantee on that.

But Caaarrllll! Faye has large, American breasts*, too! That's obviously it. Can't be that he likes, I don't know, talking to Faye, or something. Because Angus has never carried on about enjoying witty banter, comebacks, and general sass, has he? That must be some other comic.

Okay, back to the sweatshop with me.

The fact that she is still pining away over Angus to the point where the very notion of him flirting with someone else causes her to flee the area is objectively damning when it comes to talking about how mature she is.

Oh please.  She had a crush on him, a fairly strong one by all indications.  And now very recently after being let down, she is faced with "He didn't want me because he wants another girl"  And that stings like fuck all.  Trying to portray seeking a moment of away time to compose herself as some sort of sign of emotional immaturity is ridiculous. 

I definitely agree.  I think it is much more mature to go somewhere and try to process briefly instead of hysterically running after Faye and Angus and doing something hysterical and embarrassing, or starting to throw back the shots.

Uh, I probably do, but I never actually spent much thought on what other men look for in a women.

Personally I dont care for boob size that much either. After all, I joined the Hanners fanclub just as willingly as the Faye fanclub before. But I thought I was kind of an exception.

I couldnt say what I'm looking for in a woman. I just check how much I feel for a woman (which is not really that easy to find out, surprisingly). I dont have any other criterion.


I hope this was sarcasm. I have a body shape like Raven. This is definitely not true, nor do I want it to.
Hmm, you dont want to be able to freely choose whatever spouse you would like to have ?


Hey, I'm not that evil.  :-P Plus I only remember that one time we've disagreed!  Snubnose is my nemesis on these boards.
Godsdammit. I thought I was your nemesis.
Uh, I dont think I'm very qualified to be anyones "nemesis", anyway. So if you want that position, go ahead.


Ummm... actually, the "man she wants" is Angus, and he turned her down.  With his hand on said boobage
Didnt he thought something like "whow, boobs" ?

And we already know he's for another girl, dont we ? Who also has enough boobage that he wouldnt need to look anywhere else, anyway.


THOSE AREN'T BOOBS! THEY'RE LIES!
What about make-up? 
Oh. My. God. You didnt. You just didnt !

Doing a "repair" of your body is way different from showering, wearing nice clothes, and makeup.

For once, having artificial boobs means you're having a foreign body in your body, possibly resulting in constant hurt, and very likely resulting in a constant inflammation.

There have been also cases where these artifical boobs where damaged and poisoned women. I once read about a woman to which that happened. She was left by her husband because of it. Now that must have been a deep love for sure, grmpf.

As the artificial boob argument is going on I figure I should say in fairness that guys aren't above trying for personal enhancement. Otherwise all those commercials with the creepy smile people for pills that promise to increase size wouldn't be on so often.

What country do you live in? The only commercials about those types of pills we get here are the ones about keeping it up longer (with the fast-talk at the end about how if it stays up for longer than four hours, go to a hospital before things start rupturing).

You forgot "Bristols", "Baps", "Bust", "Bosoms" and "Ta-tas".

Also, average cup size in the USA: B. Average cup size in the UK: D.

Don't forget that the average woman wears a bra two sizes to small. That makes the average breasts a D and a F respectively.

But are the sizing conventions the same in both countries?

Yes they are.

Best part of selling balloons in Birmingham city centre for a summer job was the number of girls in low-cut tops who'd try and get their balloons discounted with some décolletage action. I always used to give them the two balloons for Ł5 offer that I was allowed to give anyway if they tried it. They went away thinking that it had worked, I went away with more money and a free show.

Best job I've ever had.  :lol:

The average shoe size is larger in America than the UK. And the fuel economy for a car in the UK is better than the fuel economy for the same car in the US. And don't forget that an ounce of gunpowder weighs more than an ounce of feathers, but a pound of feathers weighs more than a pound of gunpowder. Want to guess the similarities between all of these situations?

edit: Also, bosoms is in there twice, just misspelled.

Having little to contribute to the great boob debate of '10, I've steered clear the last day or so, but hey, I like to look, and have no complaints wrt my wife's.

On the other hand, that looks suspisiously like my boys do whe they get put on time out.  Which is why we try to put them where they can't see each other.

I do not get it... An ounce or pound of one thing will weigh the same as an ounce or pound of anything else since they are measurements of weight...

As for Marigold needing new bras, I wonder if it is a point that she is wearing the wrong size, or perhaps she just does not go shopping enough and the elastic got so incredibly worn it just gave out.

Yes, but gunpowder (along with gold, silver, and platinum, according to wikipedia) is measured in Troy ounces, while feathers are measured in avoirdupois ounces. 12 Troy ounces to a pound, and each Troy pound (not sure if this is the proper term) is slightly lighter than an avoirdupois pound. They are both called ounces, but they are different measurements as surely as a pound (whichever one) is different from a kilogram. Kind of like UK shoe sizes vs US shoe sizes, imperial gallons vs US gallons, and US bra sizes vs UK bra sizes (although all womens' clothing sizes are hilariously/horribly inaccurate, ridiculous amounts of vanity sizing going on).

Weird, I never knew that. Being a child of the metric system all that seems horrifically archaic :lol:
I do wish that women's sizing was better regulated. It would save a lot of time when trying to buy new clothes.

Thing is, all a girl needs to get SOME man is to be willing, and undiscriminating. It matters very little what you look like: if you put it out there, and you're willing to go with any potential taker, you'll get a guy.

As the artificial boob argument is going on I figure I should say in fairness that guys aren't above trying for personal enhancement. Otherwise all those commercials with the creepy smile people for pills that promise to increase size wouldn't be on so often.
The interesting thing about that is that that particular enhancement... ALSO seems to be aimed at men. I'm female, and size (barring freakishly small or large (ow), which both seem quite rare) really isn't important to me. I also have never personally met a woman to whom it mattered (again, outside of the rare extremes; you can always have too much of anything). I'm sure they're out there, but this does not seem to be on the average woman's list of priorities.  When women moan in porn "Oh, you're so biiiig" -- remember, porn is 95% designed for men, and what's said/done/scripted is rarely what a woman is actually thinking, just what will appeal to the guys watching. Women learn to say it in real life to stroke their guy's ego and then that feeds the myth.

Ok, so, maybe its just me, and if that's the case, I'll shut up, but:

It is.  It really is.  I'm sure some of us agree that the boob talk needs to be dialed back a bit, but... not really for the same reasons.

Also, heteronormativity?  This is, at heart, a comic about straight people (namely, Marten and Faye).  Sure, they're in Northampton, but what, no one can write about straight people anymore?

See? I told you she was going to be okay. Hooray for Marigold!

And the last panel is the funniest thing I've seen on QC in months—not that it hasn't been funny, but my sense of humor loces this sort of thing.

What country do you live in? The only commercials about those types of pills we get here are the ones about keeping it up longer (with the fast-talk at the end about how if it stays up for longer than four hours, go to a hospital before things start rupturing).
Blackjoker must live in the U.S. I can't recall the product, but I do remember the guy smirking (my SO hates that smirk) that the "extra size? That's kind of fun, too."

I have often wondered if guys really do show up in the ER with five-hour wood. That's got to be a nightmare.

Tatas is in there, thanks. So I forgot the hyphen. Isch ga-bibble. As for the others, I didn't imagine I had an exhaustive list. Makes me think of a line from No Small Affair.
*Snip* bosoms is in there twice, just misspelled.
If you ever heard anyone say bazooms, you'd know that's not true. And if it sounds like bosoms, they're not doing it right.

My personal bęte noir in that list is 'fun bags.' I don't know why, but I particularly dislike it.

Bristols?

Yay, Dora's boob comment made Marigold laugh herself out of her funk!  If Mar-bear only had two bras ("my other bra"), then it's high time she went shopping for more anyway.  Wonder if she and Dora will swing by the Vibrator Shoppe as well.

And I love that Marten thought putting Angus and Faye in Time-Out in a bedroom with Pintsize, aka He Who Would Be Porn King and Future Wanglord.   :lol:  Not that it looks like anything's gonna happen, it's just among the things that are funny in that last shot.

Or is Marten simply a facilitator?  Or just not paying attention to detail?

Could become a "Seemed like a good idea at the time" moment.

Heh, much of Marten's decision-making seems oops-ridden.   :wink:  Faye and Angus are still in schoolyard mode, though, so there's probably no risk of makeouts at this point -- they don't even have drunk bubbles.  As odd as it is that Pintsize is complying with Marten's apparent command to keep them separate, he may just be happy to be wielding a stick, something that by the look of it did not come from Dora's "party supplies."

Haven't you noticed a distinct absence of Smilin' Bob from the boob tube? (Sorry, hadda use "boob tube" in this thread.) The Enzyte people were sued over the fact that multiple scientific studies have shown their "proprietary" "herbal" "natural" con-cock-tion (Sorry, sorry, I'll stop that.) didn't do anything that it claimed, and so they were forced by the FDA to stop advertizing any of those claims, which is basicly their entire claim.

Refresh my memory. Was that before, during, or after he had his hands down Anne Heche's shorts and Anne told him, "I better not catch you smiling."

As has already been mentioned, Wapsi Square did a bra-shopping arc several years ago, as did Devil's Panties even longer ago. There are easily enough webcomics in the slice-of-life genre to support basicly similar story arcs, I just hope Jeph is getting plenty of technical consultancy from his S.O., as I'm sure Paul "Pablo" Taylor does for his characters.
