You know, for a comic titled "Questionable Content", Jeph's never really had much more than implied sex and conveniently censored nudity.
No, I'm not complaining. It's just an observation!

I would consider those things fairly questionable. Sure, these things come up in close groups of friends, but they're not necessarily standard topics of polite situations. To me, the questionability arises from the appropriateness of the topics in the presence of a general population. Topics like this aren't comfortable for many; and yet, they are not outright taboo.
I don't know. I may be over thinking this. My 2¢. :psyduck:

Quite a few of his comics would prompt dirty looks at the office, where many of us check the comic first thing in the morning, so little surprises like that do provoke some complaints of questionablity. Also, implied sex? Fairly sure Gina Riversmith was WAY beyond implied.
Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: Jeph in 2006 ---I won't ever do nudity in my comic mainly because I want people to be able to look at it at work without getting fired, if possible. Also drawing people doin' it would feel REALLY creepy.

Since then there's been 1334 and the Rene Engstrom guest strip, but Jeph's been pretty consistent about keeping to PG for nudity.
rje:
I wasn't paying attention to why Mieville jumped and thought the look on his face was -priceless-, like a sudden fear/panic 'MUST - COVER - NEKKID - BREASTESES!' :lol: But then I saw the moth (which I thought at first was a previously-unseen magically disappearing tat on Tai's neck) ... it must be too early for me to attempt cohesive thought, sheesh xD
My favorite part is the 'nyom nyom' ... if Mieville's anything like my cat, Dora's going to have a lovely little pile of mushed-up moth and vomit to clean up in a few minutes.
She also seems rather blase' about the appearance of said boobs, poor Tai...that is really not the reaction you're wanting with surprise nudity. :(
Is it cold in here?:
Is Tai a stereotype of anything other than the dissipated college student?
Near Lurker:
Tai's lost a lot of subtlety since Marigold. If anything were likely to happen, Dora probably would have acknowledged her at least a bit by now.
...of course, she doesn't go for the butch girls, anyway. Especially not the ones her last boyfriend works for. Then again, Tai said she'd never go for a bi girl whose ex-boyfriend she knew, didn't she?
