Right, then, let me rephrase.

Y'all seem to have an unhealthy obsession with lizard boobies.  Her hair covers more than her top did in the first place.

Pretty, yes, but that's par for the course here.

[Talonr]

On a completely different note, I don't think Shanna's necklace is ever coming back again.

We won't miss it, just like we don't miss her top.

[Eibborn]

You are correct. But all the chars have been anthropomorphisized, thus acquiring humanlike anatomy. But the reptiles are still not supposed to have boobies! *ker-nerd: part two*

Just pretend the last two lines were increasing in size, seeing as it's not an option with this forum.
(It occurs to me that this post could be taken as overtly offensive. It is just intended to point out the flaw in the logic, and I thought it was funnier this way.)

[Ren Gaulen]

It was meant to be confusing and logically flawed so people would make fun of it. My job here is done. Knight vanish! *vanishes with loud metallic noises*

I just realized something when I went looking back through the archives some.
Early on, dan repeatedly makes it clear that he wants to be hooked up with "cute canine friends"
http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_281.php, http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_294.php

Now, I may be going out on a bit of a quite a huge limb here, and we haven't even established if the canine-ish girl is really canine, or hyena, or what, (not to mention this seems to always be connected to arya, and was more of a running joke because of dan's only hearing what he wanted to hear) But heck, slight chance there might be a bit more of a relationship between the two? They did seem awefully cute together.

Buuut then again the bunny-ish girl hugged his wings, and the lizard girl... well obviously dan likes her too, so no idea... just freeform though.

A year or so ago, Amber published some old archival sketches from '99-2000 or so.  IIRC, she said that the succubus who introduced the 'Cubi concept was originally going to be a canine, before she cameoed Aary for the role.  His insistence on canines was left in as a homage to that, or something.

[jo-shadow]

ah see, shows how much I know 

[MT Hazard]

There is a huge amount that can (and probably has been) written about why people can find fictions characters attractive but it boils down to three things

1. Humans are 'programmed' to see patterns, even where there are none, because of this a curved line and two dots can be seen as a face, and human bodies can be represented easily

2.Due to the amount of our brains that is dedicatedly to sexual reproduction (more in men) and the fact that fictions females can be 'perfect' ideals (a line drawing has no imperfections unless there added) means that we can be attracted to things we know aren't real.

3. People can (and will) shag inanimate objects and non-human animals surprising often with no regard to weather the find them attractive or not.

Yep, people are a messed up bunch but these kind of fantasies are harmless if kept in your head or between consenting adults....

There's more that can be said but I won't add it unless asked.

...

Wait, I think the boobies were just approved by Optimus Prime. Alright, it's fine then!

I see what you mean. And I think Amber mentioned once that in matilda's case, the breasts store flammable liquids, and some other artists assume it's a stock of fat. It's likely that the reptiles on furrae follows this line as well

(I can't see the link -.- )

[Amber Williams]

You are correct. But all the chars have been anthropomorphisized, thus acquiring humanlike anatomy. But the reptiles are still not supposed to have boobies! *ker-nerd: part two*

That would make no sense. In theory reptiles shouldnt have normal two legged walking, hair, humanesque reproduction, or the proper vocal chords to emulate human speech.   There is no logic to it being ok to anthromorphize one part of human quality to a reptile character but others are just "too unrealistic"  Its a 5'7" walking talking reptile with blue hair.

When it comes to anthromorphizing, I tend to lean heavily towards more humanesque than animal. Which means save for certain types, the girls have the bewbs, the blood tends to be warm, and the wangs are not freaking animal-wacky.  Not that it matters what wangs are wanging since thats never gonna get featured in this comic, but I am anal retentive enough to cover as many aspects of things as I can...even the naughty bit ones.  Its just how I roll.  

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

eeek! No rolling anyone's wangs!

... or at least wait until I get out of reach. Sheesh...

Actually I just said that for fun. After all, I could not miss an opportunity to act like some nerd that I am not and poke fun at the discussion concerning "lizard boobies" that was going on at that time. I even put up a *nerd* warning at the end of my post so everyone could see that I was not being serious about that.

...Jesus Christ, llearch!..

[Amber Williams]

I will roll whatever the heck I want to roll Box!

NOTHING CAN STOP ME! 

[Rafe]

Aww, c'mon - lizards can and do have boobs.  Look at Grendel's mother from Beowulf here:

 

Too bad you can't see her talons and prehensile tail in this image.  If Niel Gaiman can give a lizard boobs, then that settles it.  Maybe next time he could add nipples.

Those are the most disturbing tits I've ever seen.

Shiny, floppy milk-bags do not look good.

...And here I was thinking this section of the forum was PG-13.

But the conversation between Amber and llearch made me laugh a lot.

[Tapewolf]

...And here I was thinking this section of the forum was PG-13.

What's really disturbing is it's in a thread named 'Hallelujah!'.

[Rafe]

Well, the movie was PG-13, so I assume the image was.  And I'll leave judgement calls to everyone else.  After all, she's a demon water-lizard thing from ninth-century Denmark.  There's bound to be some creepyness there.  Just be thankful I didn't post naked animated Anthony Hopkins as King Hrothgar.

[MT Hazard]

Good to see that my post on the human condition didn't stop people talking about reptile boobs.

Nothing can make people stop talking about reptile boobs. NOTHING!

Not anymore, at least..

Oh, I'm sure. I was just asking for a little space.

After all, you don't want me to enjoy it too much, do you? ;-]

[Fuyudenki]

Well for what it's worth, I'm happier with the current topic.  Now it's just talking about boobs in general, instead of obsessing over a character who sacrificed her cleavage-coverings* and is now more covered with her own hair**.

I'm picky when it comes to boobs.  They should be just right-sized, not too big, not too small, but most definitely, should be the right scale for the girl attached.



*not that they covered her cleavage, per-se, but you know.

**I thought the general rule of thumb was that when a lizard has hair, you should throw it out.

True true...the happiness of the people on the forum is the bane of my existance afterall. 

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

hey, aren't you supposed to be working, anyway?

[Fuyudenki]

Pfft.  I'd rather see Amber this happy than have a Friday update, if I had to choose.

Though if I had to choose, I'd rather see happy Amber give us a Friday update.  And maybe a bonus comic on Saturday.  NEVER COMPRIMISE! (we really need a fist-shakey emote.)

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

... ok, ok. I guess you're right. Happy Amber beats Grumpy Amber and No Update. ;-]

[Amber Williams]

I'm testing out a new mouse/keyboard. When I returned, I found my old ones were pretty much...blarargh'd.  So I had to go out and get some new ones. Their both cordless and I am still not used to them. Colouring is very wierd...so odds are this is gonna be a late night update (I'm estimating 4-5AM).

...granted the sleeping 16 hours and waking up at 5PM may have something to do with this decision as weeeeeeell...*cough*
