Awww come on, we haven't gotten to analyzing the text bubbles backwards for clues and satanic messages (or maybe a good pea soup recipe)!! lol

--- Quote from: Near Lurker on 20 Nov 2012, 00:16 ---Why is it in general that men aren't drawn with lips, anyway? Sometimes it's that lips are only drawn when someone's wearing lipstick, but often women are drawn with faint lips even when they aren't supposed to be wearing lipstick, whereas men have none except on the rare occasions they do. Lips can be pretty obvious; I remember being struck by how much mine stood out when I took off my moustache.

It's just one of those little details that makes people view a character as male or female. While in real life ladies can have small lips and men can have large lips, it can be fairly hard to draw a male character with large lips, especially ones that aren't very butch, and have them still look male to your audience.

Yet another long-time trans* reader lured out of the shadows of the Internet over this comic!
Mostly wanted to say thanks for the refreshingly mature discussions, and the links!
Also I must warn you of a terrible fate that may befall us all!
Jeph sez: "OCD IS BAD: Nitpicking and/or placing way too much importance on minutiae while missing the big picture is probably Jeph's biggest pet peeve. Not every little detail is Fraught With Meaning." :psyduck:
