Can't imagine it working on pillows, really... you need that skin-to-lip contact.

btw, Danielle Corsetto's webcomic Girls With Slingshots is deliciously naughty. Jeph recommended it awhile ago, and I can only agree. She does have a flair for expressive faces, and teasing the censorship lines (which I always enjoy) and also gets webcomic-incestuous, like with Something*Positive's Choo-choo bear (the pink malleable cat seems to be the father of GWS' new kittens...!)

These webcomicists do get around, don't they? Their world looks like fun, from here.

ESL - my first guess was eat shit, loser... sorry! Urban Dictionary to the rescue, again

Gee, with that and wikipedia, any isolated loner like Marigold or me can keep up.

And I'm guessing the snot is from the realization of how rediculous what she was doing was... Maybe more self-aware than some give her credit for. ...Or, her sinuses still loosened up from the crying. Whatever.

snubnose · « **Reply #11 on:** 19 Apr 2010, 00:20 »

"deliciously naughty" ?

I only saw the first douzen of strips and it already has a 10 - year old boy who talks all the time about sex.

A TEN YEAR OLD !

I didnt had a clue what sex is until 14, for heavens sake.

And I hated boobs until then, too.

tomart · « **Reply #12 on:** 19 Apr 2010, 00:36 »

(I grew up on a farm; sex was just part of life, you know?)

If I recall correctly, that ten-yr-old boy with the sex-obsession turns out to have a mother who fervently pretends sex doesn't exist, for some rediculous Religious reason. So I think Danielle is suggesting something important about how the drive gets perverted by repression..? Most of GWS' main characters talk about sex and relationships all the time, Clarice works in a porn shop, and besides the obligatory gay characters, one whole recent plot arc shows us two lesbians' dating adventures. And I find all that refreshingly, deliciously liberating. (Do any of us still read The Family Circus?)
Thank GOD we've advanced to where we can acknowledge reality, at least online...

Yay Freedoms!

Of course, she and Jeph still have to keep their strips "family-friendly" (whatever the FUCK that means, today!?) or face God-awful pressures, retribution, etc. (Like, we still can't draw a boob... one of the first things a baby sees, but it is deemed VERBOTEN by The Moral Guardians.) Who are we protecting, and from what?

You are aware that the kid in question is a fictional caracter, and that his (not really that) extreme young age is what makes the joke?

Danielle is not advocating that it's OK for children to know all about sex, or that it is appropriate for children to behave that way or for the adults responsible to allow that sort of behavior.

Also, the kid doesn't have very much of a role in later story arcs. You should give GWS another chance.

But in reality, is it really all that outrageous for a 10 year old boy to act like a horn-dog? There was the neigbor kid in Mad Men who got a crush on Betty Draper, and he was portrayed to be 9.

You'd be surprised by how much a 10-11-12 year old knows (or thinks he knows, which is worse) about sex.

Speak for yerself, sonny. Remember human development (as with anything that has multiple variables) follows a bell curve, and there's a lot of variation. There will always be individuals out in either extreme. To be honest, knowing nothing about sex until you were 14 sounds a bit far from the mean in its own right, just in the opposite direction!

Ask any Jr. High (6-7-8th grade, 10 - 14 year olds) teacher - those kids are nothing but a mass of rampaging hormones and (probably as a result) neuroses!

And from a personal standpoint, I know I started early, but that had a lot to do with early maturation - I was 5'6" and 150 lbs in 6th grade, biggest kid in the school, and starting to get hairy and interested in (older) girls. You can't even begin to understand the level of awkward that entails!

Penquin47 · « **Reply #21 on:** 19 Apr 2010, 05:56 »

It's even younger for girls... from about 3rd grade to about high school when the other girls started catching up, I was the youngest kid in my grade but, physically, the most developed. At 12 years old I was mistaken for 18 (seriously). Add in the hormones that come with puberty, and if I'd had different parents, I could well have been one of those sexually active middle school kids.

Now I teach high school. One of my students was a freshman who was scared to death to tell her mom that she'd gotten pregnant for the second time (she had her first baby in 7th grade).

quite right, this is an important part of everyone's education and should not be left to chance or animation from Japan to teach people. Appropriate demonstrations should be carried out in schools at the right ages to ensure that there are no questions as to what is meant.

I am presuming this has something to do with waterborne tyransportation other than by canoe right?

It turns out later that he actually didn't know anything about sex. He just talked it up alot. That is exactly like the average 10 year old boy.

Exactly like that. Bore them out of their skulls over the subject, never let them avoid knowing about any aspect of it, however miniscule, and teen pregnancies will decrease. (I know, I know, but I live in an area where the 'abstinence until marriage' thing is in full swing, pledges, churches, and the whole damned hoop-de-la. We also have the highest per capita teen pregnancy rate in the U.S. and are getting towards tops in various forms of VD. Time to take 'em out a WHOLE NEW DOOR*, I say.)

I wouldn't imagine that Marigold were all that concerned with performing a motorboat as much as receiving a motorboat. The girl is endowed, you know.

Of course, if Mar-bear is harbouring secret lesbian crushes, say on Faye, then mastering the technique could be useful.

Um... um.... have you talked to any 10 year olds lately? Trust me, many of them are more familiar with sex than you may think. I mean, it's nice for you that you hated boobs till you were 14, but uh, a lot of pre-pubescent kids masturbate. That's normal. Many of them play sexual exploration games with each other. Also fairly normal.

When I was 14, I was drawing a pin-up girl for fun at an after-school program (nothing scandalous, just a girl in a bathing suit) and this 9 year old came up to me and asked if I could draw him a picture like that, because he liked the girl's boobies. My 9 year old cousin, at his older brother's wedding, was having the time of his life playing around with the bridesmaids (their gowns were fairly low-cut) who thought he was just a cute little boy. Well, that cute little boy ran to tell me about how he got to bury his face in their cleavage when they hugged him, and how he was hoping to touch their butts too. (He used rather more vulgar terms than that.) It happens, dude.

I actually don't even think GwS is naughty at all. It strikes me as a comic that deals with so-called "naughty" topics in extremely tame ways. (I do like it a lot, but compared with S*P, Anders Loves Maria, and many other webcomics out there, it is entirely family-friendly polite.)

It looks like a issue of migrating boobage, since Faye seems to have nearly none (perhaps the plaid pattern obscures it/makes it harder to draw?). I do like how Marigold saw Angus as all anime'd out.

Regarding motorboating . . . ladies who are well-endowed enough can actually self-motorboat. It's possible both Marigold and Faye are big enough to do that -- though as pleasure-inducing activities, getting motorboated, self- or otherwise, ain't high up there. Just sayin'. You know, if you're already on your way to your bunk.
