Issue 2 - Party Like It's 198X - Page 13 - Space Boobs

I'm posting this just minutes before we head out the door to a 3-hour drive to Midoricon, so no time for commentary. But the picture really speaks for itself.

Awesome.  That page left me wanting more.

That translation was a bit weird, I read it when you posted on fb. Hopefully he more reviews the quicker word spreads about the awesome 80s adventure you have us on.

This page must be one of the most appropriately named so far.

Nice detail with the falling half-chick in panel 6, and the pink one must have serious back problems with that huge double rack. Well done!

*thinks, "Hrm, why doesn't the amphibian lady have a vagina?"*
*thinks some more, "Wait... do frogs even have vaginas?"*
*subsequently learns a lot about cloacas*
Indirect biology lesson - nice. 

[Rijst]

Don't they just excrete egg cells or something?

[Jessica Safron]

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

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?

I said pairs.

No. Those aren't nipples, dammit.

Thanks for posting that clip. Now I've got no reason to bother watching the Total Recall remake.

Speaking of Total Recall, we were thinking about including a three-titted alien babe as a reference to the original movie, until I realized that Total Recall came out in 1990 and was therefor off limits to our comic. But fortunately, we were able to fill that void by referencing a 4-titted alien gal from a more obscure '80s movie. Actually, each of the four "alien babes" on this page are a combination of two alien ladies from '80s fiction (mostly movies, but one of the inspirations came from a cartoon).

Before you even said that, I found myself wondering if one of the women was a reference to the cartoon Galaxy High, but looking at screenshots of the show, none of them seem to look like any of the main female characters.

[Adam Dravian]

Nope, not Galaxy High. Although now I'll have to see if YouTube has any episodes of that, so I can subject Jessica to it while she's drawing.

You're just being picky. Unless you're one of thos people who insists on even numbers, such as the volume setting on your tv..
