Jessica Safron:
Thanks, guys. Drawing this page was so much fun, especially after drawing so many pages of houses and yards.

Indirect biology lesson - nice. :)

Yay, learning! Cloacas are weird, but posterior orifices/reproductive systems can get even weirder, even among mammals. Monotremes (platypus and echidna) lay eggs through a cloaca (like the non-mammalian tetrapods: amphibians and reptiles [including birds]), but marsupials have crazy junk going on down there. Like, three vaginal canals and stuff like that. Even among placentals (mammals that aren't monotremes or marsupials), there's quite a bit of vaginal/clitoral variation. One of my favorite things that I learned about just this past year or so has been the spotted hyena clit. It's craaazy. I knew that they had false penises before, and that the females are the dominant sex, but I had no idea that these giant clit-dongs were what these creatures got boned in, peed out of, and gave birth through, among a zillion other wacky factoids. I've actually been wanting to make an infographic about spotted hyenas for a while now. Maybe I'll get around to it someday. Why don't they teach us these things in school?? ;)
Anyway, the teal alien also has tits, and is pretty anthropomorphic, so anatomical accuracy is sort of out the window. She's an alien, so whatever. I thought about turning her big cheeks into tits too, with multiple nipples each. I guess you could still think of them like that. Her nip-nubs are just really flat or something.
Michigander1911:
Wow so much info on animal vag.
Rae:
Well, there went a whole lot of time... :) Thanks for the additional learnings. They should totally teach this shit in schools. Nature is crazy. The hyena section of the clitoris wiki page was full of so many gems: "the resemblance to male genitalia is so close that sex can be determined with confidence only by palpation of the scrotum." There lots of captive hyenas getting felt up, I would image. With confidence. And this: "the females will not lick the penises of males because males are considered to be of lowest rank." Aww, poor boy hyenas.

I absolutely love the use of color on this page. Great bit of action done with a conservative number of panels, too. Looking forward to seeing the storylines come together eventually...
Babe Alert: Sy Snootles there doesn't do anything for me, but I'm loving the other alien babes. Multiple pairs of breasts are okay in my book any day of the week.

Imagine trying to talk about this to a group of angsty teenagers.. :)

I take it you're a fan of Total Recall then?
