Tergon:
I actually kind of have to agree that Tai is showing a bit of the "lesbian party-girl horndog" stereotype.  The thing is, the reason that stereotype exists is because some people are actually like that.  Tai' flashed her naughty-bits before, you know.  In fact between drunken pantslessness and her hood piercing, she's spent more time disrobed than probably any other character in QC.  We also know that she has poor impulse control at the best of times, and considering the library rave she started and the fact that she uses LSD at work, she's not exactly inhibited even when she's actually thinking about her actions.  Today's comic is... actually pretty standard, for her.  And if you've never had that one crazy friend who pulls shenanigans at every turn - maybe not at this standard, but stil - then all I can say is that you must live in a very open-minded monastery to allow you free internet access like this.

Seriously, this is such a non-issue it's not even worth waving The Useless Broom Made Entirely Out Of Dicks over.  And since the broom is, y'know, useless... that's saying something.

Meiville, the modesty cat is just one in a long line of creative self-censorship by Our Hero, Jeph.

Some beer bottles saved Raven's modesty. I think a talk baloon was used too.

I have to agree that Panel 2 did send bells off in my head, since I don't know the sound from Metal Gear.

I was wondering why there was a moth in panel 2. Checkov's gun for panel 3!

It's just boobs for chrissake!
They were part of the joke, in showing this girl's character.

Your desperation to see cartoon tits notwithstanding, I'd wager the reason Jeph censors stuff like that has more to do with the artistic side of things than any actual reserve about drawing them (read: He can't draw them without them looking horribly wrong/stupid).

Tergon:
Um... or the fact that since Jeph makes his living from the site, he has to follow ratings that his advertisers apply rather than be seen with tits all over the page.  Quite aside from the fact that he's drawn holiday cheesecake before and has a firm grasp of what a female body looks like, you might try the non-troll answer as to why he chooses to censor himself?

Hu ? Jeph has never shown the breasts of his female characters, so why should he start now ?

Or does the joke not work, just because of the "modesty cat" ?

Except it doesnt seem to work, but really, I have no idea why. I considered todays comic perfectly funny and absolutely in harmony with the characters, just as we knew them before.

I am totally at loss why everyone is so worked up.
