[Warning: Although there is no nudity or reference to things like copulation or fetishes and such, this post is essentially sexual in topic. So, maybe not such a good thing this is to be browsing at work or with people that might take offense.]
OK. It’s done. We’ve sold out. We have unashamedly turned away from our high-brow social commentary ( … ?!) for a moment and have provided you, oh dear readers/lookers, with a bevy of bounteous bosoms suited only for salacious salivation.
Light as a feather and no particular place to go. Actually, one would think those big boobs would weigh her down. We imagine it would also be hard to fight with them getting in the way and such.
What spurred this on? Well, two things:
1) we wrote a post some time ago about a song called Detachable Penis and a connection (heh…) to an obscure superhero named Captain Marvel from M.F. Publishing (not to be confused with the DC/Fawcett Captain Marvel). That post was (and still is) the record holder for the most page views in one day.
2) we did a follow-up parody called Biggest Boobs in Comics that took advantage of people searching for sex-related material (the post is actually a manipulation of slang words for breasts that correlate to unrelated things — e.g., boobs = The Boob, in reference to an old movie that cited the colloquial “boob” commonly used at the time in reference to an idiot).
After writing the Big Boobs blog, we joked that when the post hit 1,000 page views, we’d do another manipulative entry to get a bigger spike in site activity. Well, we hit 1,000 page views rather quickly, so we realized we had set the bar too low. We changed it up and agreed that if the post ever became #1 in page views for one quarter, we’d have to do a follow-up post about actual boobs in comics, in reference to the current colloquial meaning of the word. And here we are. For the last three months, the Biggest Boobs post has captured the #1 spot. It pisses us off because we know that the vast majority of people coming to our site are getting here because they are looking for the type of titillation that we generally try to avoid in this blog. Well, mostly. OK, partially. We’re doing the PG-13 thing as best we can.
Why Power Girl doesn’t have a logo
So, for our long time readers that don’t find this sort of thing funny, sorry about that. But the reality is that for every one of you that stops reading, there are going to be 10+ new lookie-loos hoping for even more arousing fare. And, in the end we’re simply whores to the numbers. But don’t despair. If you stick around, you’ll only have to tolerate the occasional trip down Sexpot Lane. The rest of the time, we’ll be writing our regular crap about odd comic book origins or Comic-Con or Syria or bad fashion or Asterix or cool comic book covers … see we’re making an effort to edumicaterate the newbies on the virtues of the Comics A-Go-Go! experience.
Enough writing, the rest of you say? Bring on the boobies, you say? Alright, here you go. Today we’re shining the spotlight on the Best of the Breast. Here is a mountain of mammaries from the girl with one of the most ridiculous costumes in comics. Lo, Power Girl.
Power Girl’s boobs empower her as a woman … not sure how, but that’s the message we’re getting. Thank you horny comic book creators.
First up: 100 pictures of Power Girl’s Power Window – the famous cleavage exposing, completely unnecessary costume feature. We were going to grab just 50 pictures but there are sooooo many images of Power Girl on the Internet that we kept going until we hit 100. Waste of time? Who cares? We have to admit that the exercise had its moments.
Next: 24 pictures of Power Girl cosplayers with an extra pic for you guys and girls that prefer your cheesecake with a bit more testosterone. Our favorite is in the lower right hand corner. We have no idea where it originated (should have kept notes, we suppose), but that’s some convincing rage you’re expressing there, girlfriend. Good dental hygiene, too.
So, this is what it has come to. We are convinced that this post will become the biggest player on our blog in the very near future. We actually think that’s too bad. There’s other stuff on this site that is really good (that’s not just our opinion – our mommies have told us so). Stick around after you’ve wasted your time counting the boob images in the infographic to make sure we actually did put 100 sets of boobs in it, and go look at some of our other offerings. Here’s a last one for the road.
As they say in the Biz, “Sex sells, baby!” (This has got to be the single worst mashup we’ve ever done, but give us a break! Look at the man boobs in the source material. Dude, whoever you are, just … just stop. Please.)
Note: We specifically looked for pictures that adhere to fair use laws or that are found ubiquitously on the Internet. However, if any of these pictures belong to you and you want credit for them, let us know which one it/they is/are and we’ll add a footer. If there are copyrighted pictures we’ve used that we should not have, help us identify those and we’ll replace them with others.
One of the things that makes the Asterix series so much fun are the blatant cultural stereotypes. Most of the stuff is innocuous and we appreciate that the authors don’t bother trying to spare anyone of a bit of good old fashioned lampooning. The Romans almost always end up with the worst of it. They were the hated enemy after all. But Goscinny and Uderzo didn’t shy away from poking good-natured fun at the British. After all, they are cousins, aren’t they? Now how about a spot of hot water?
A couple of weeks ago, Albert Uderzo announced he was retiring from writing and drawing the Asterix series he created with Rene Goscinny in 1959. Uderzo created 24 complete albums with Goscinny and eight by himself. The bulk of their work run from the early 60′s to the mid 70′s. Uderzo commented during his announcement that he would be turning over the reigns to a new generation of creators. We’re not sure if that’s good or bad and what it means exactly. Most likely we will see at least some additional media works like television shorts or video games, but it remains to be seen if actual full-album stories will be released. Frankly, the stories have probably run their course.
