Interesting steatopygia on the women. Do comics reveal what our genes really want instead of the skinny females foisted upon us in the media? Just idle musings.
Mark Frauenfelder

Those butts were painted by Frazetta, which explains it.

I’m all for genes coding for a desire of comics style women. I couldn’t be one of those skinny chicks if I ran myself through a wood chipper.

I hope genes don’t code for women like that, because they look like they’d break in half at the waist.

I think something happened to our social psyche in the 1900s. Suddenly, being burned to a crisp by the sun is fashionable, and eating isn’t.

I’m just glad I was born without a fashion-sense.
Tenn

Okay, not the waist but the ass at least.
