Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT: 2397-2401 (4-8 March, 2013) Weekly Comic Discussion Thread
bhtooefr:
That's actually one thing I've noticed in Jeph's art - he draws a comic of 20-somethings, so he has trouble making someone look older than mid 30s.
I can't decide whether Amir was lampshaded or not (he was 35, and looked mid 20s), and Hannerdad, Hannermom, and Jim look their ages, but Veronica and Henry don't look anywhere near their ages. I mean, ffs, Henry looks like he's in his 30s or 40s, except for going gray early, when Word of Author is that he's in his late 50s.
And, I second that comment on Aethien's avatar.

But, my point was that Wikipedia shots have a talent for making even good looking people look horrible, when they don't look that bad in real life or in other candid shots.

Agreed, that they actually do. But in this case it wasn't THAT bad. It just looked most authentic to me.
(And... wow, ~44? Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang.)
@Aethien:
You avatar is mesmerising.

Re: Daang; agreement. But then Pauley Perette.
Re: avatar; run it through tineye if you wish to see something revelatory and very NSFW.
bhtooefr:
It did look rather porny, I was wondering if the hot dog was covering something else.
Aethien:
That's the whole point of the thing. It's like those shitty MsPaint porn image coverups but done well.

Hey natives, would "it embarrasses me (so)" do the trick?
--- End quote ---
I'm not a native (of the English language, I'm actually German), but "it embarrasses me (so)" feels/looks/sounds pretty weird to me, like something a German would say, you know one of those things that give away that you're a foreigner.
I think, "I feel so embarrassed" would be the best translation as it includes that "undertone" that ankhtahr mentions.
