--- Quote from: GarandMarine on 30 Jul 2013, 14:11 ---While I love Infinity, that image, and that chick's rocking chest, I really can't ignore boob socks any more sadly. It actively bothers me in a lot of media. "Hey! Fabric doesn't work like that!"

I'm trying to remember the name of the woman who said, for posterity, that she wondered whether any comic book artists had ever actually seen a woman naked. Until I remember, I'm going to have to content myself with this distant second, from Luke McKinney over at cracked dot com:

--- Quote ---Female superhero costumes are the comic industry's "No Cooties" signs: They prove that the people who designed them think about girls (a lot) but don't really know how they work and are making sure it stays that way.

Mr_Rose:
I think it's clear that they have seen women naked, just not in person. And further that due to this separation, they can't quite relate what they see in pictures to what they see walking past them with the slightly nauseous look….

--- Quote from: St.Clair on 30 Jul 2013, 14:52 ---Because there's no real practical reason for it to, other than to make reality look more like the work of lazy artists.
You might as well ask if we will someday have the technology to digitally wipe away backgrounds, replacing them with panels of flat color.  (We might, but is that really a plausible application or desirable outcome?)

while i agree in principle, i also think it should be pointed out that clothing fashion can get pretty impractical & silly, even in the real world. and especially when viewed from the context of a different time, place, or culture.

Platypodes:
There has got to be more to this than meets the eye.

I'm going to accept May's being in Robot Jail as truth, assuming that it's what she almost let slip earlier ("in ro-"), but I just can't buy the rest of the set-up.  Corporation pays you $1500 to test a demo of a companion AI who's actually a criminal hanging out with you as part of her sentence?  QC plots are generally a lot more logical than that.  I'm expecting Dale to find out that May or somebody higher up has been fucking with him in a big way.

Notice that she never read him the license agreement.  Either there wasn't a license agreement because this whole thing is a charade, or it's legit to some degree but May is capable of breaking the rules.  If she's able to not read the license agreement (which she was presumably required to read), who knows what else she's getting away with.

Even without taking it at face value, I'm finding this to be the most bizarre QC plot twists to date.

Demolator:
Man, I feel stupid. Everyone's all readin' into these strips and stuff and I just kind of appreciated the humor and got off.  Also, I can think of a lot of practical reasons to draw like that, although most are less than appropriate.
