For more in this same vein, don't forget the venerable (and hilarious (and NSFW in places)) Escher Girls
My favorites are the redraws, especially when they try to draw the anatomy as is and have to annotate it with "WTF SPINE?"

If tagging works like this for AR, I want it. Now.

Never mind the tagging; if AR could be programmed to hypersexualize every person's appearance (though hopefully with more accurate anatomy), you know there'd be a lot of buyers.
Of course, then someone would come up with a patch you could download for your Glasses that doesn't change the hypersexual bodies but digitally erases everyone's clothes. I saw a patch like that for The Sims, years ago.

Tops that are perfectly tailored to each individual breast, a result of an artist just drawing a naked figure and then coloring it to look like clothes, sometimes with a half-hearted attempt at fabric lines.
Actual clothing tends to fit around both, blurring and compressing their shape into what's sometimes referred to as a "monoboob" - a relatively undifferentiated horizontal bulge.

Well, in a world as futuristic as that, who's to say they haven't invented a sort of "cling fabric" that sticks firmly to every part of your skin it covers, but can still be removed easily when you want to take your clothes off? It wouldn't even have to be all that high-tech -- you can do some amazing things with static electricity. :-)

I believe the urge for instant gratification is part of what defines "poor impulse control". You see something you like, you want it NOW, not twenty years from now.
Besides, you know something as high-tech as an intelligent robot is going to be totally obsolete in less than ten years. A ten-year-old computer is a dinosaur; why wouldn't it be even worse for AIs?
This conversation is now reminding me of the Neal Stephenson character who had "POOR IMPULSE CONTROL" tattooed on his forehead as a sort of punishment (or warning to everyone else?), who firmly believed that everyone could be induced to listen to Reason. Turned out that Reason was the name he'd given the (barely) portable chaingun he carried around... or was it the name of the tactical nuke he also kept with him? One of those, anyway... 8-)

There is substantial reason to think that comic book artists just suck at anatomy generally.

Hm... looks like Cap here was genetically designed for life on a high-gravity world that, somehow, has very thin air. Or, more likely, the air is as dense as you'd expect with that gravity, but has a very low oxygen content.
But why does even his shield have muscles?? :-o

That reminds me of Kim Possible's tatas.

A truly self-sufficient AI would be able to upgrade itself I think.

Unless of course there's some sort of pre/early ACW nonsense about how AIs could not possibly be employed in fighting roles due to (insert racist rant here)

The AnthroPC at the shop where Momo got her current chassis used to work as the AI of a submarine, so it should be possible.
