My avatar is no longer visible. In the past I was able to upload from my hard drive. Is this still possible?

You just took FMG storytelling to the next level…. fun pure fun. The ending reminded me of the "Fumetti" comics they did years ago.

Back in '77 huh? Well that sort of confirms something I've long believed… Even if FBB never happened, it was due to LACK OF IMAGINATION on the part of artists in depicting female strength. This artist didn't need a FBB to use for reference… he obviously knew his anatomy to correctly (and proportionately) draw a muscular female arm. Even today, it doesn't seem to occur to the average illustrator, that if a female character is supposed to display strength she has to be DRAWN THAT WAY. Instead we get the anorexic ( Don't get me started on Ian Churchill's Supergirl) or we get buxom but bicepless ( She Hulk or Power Girl…. depending on the artist ) Or even more annoyingly, the now-you-see-it-now-you-don't muscles that vary from page to page (SH and PG again).

Still, if DCM has images that go this far back…. anyone else out there with some pre '79 ( The "official" year of FBB) fantasy/comic book imagery of muscular amazons? No pipestem arms please. I need to check my old stash….

Loved your "Lois" sequel! I like it when Brian's getting some action! (maybe because we have the same first name!)

Look, I'm under no illusions here. At first I hesitated to post the topic because, I thought he was just in his "blue" phase and it would pass. Frankly, it was the drawing that kinda disturbed me. (Blue yes… morbid… I dunno). I also  had two former co-workers who were clinically depressed. One would spend days smoking weed ( why use a depressant if you're depressed? ). They other finally did the deed and killed himself years later. So in a lot of ways it's the throw of the genetic dice, who's blowing off steam, who's blowing their head off and who goes postal and blows everybody away.

I just figured a lot of us frequented his site and if you wanted to, you could send him an e-mail. Or not, as the case may be. There's no need to go negative on the dude in my opinion. If you've been in the game for awhile, then you know its not uncommon for board moderators to be dictatorial and "blow up" when they don't get their egos stroked and their groups collapse. I mean how often does that happen over at Yahoo?

Speaking for myself, I think it's a loss to the community when somebody talented goes down like that. Where are they now, the Scoundrels, the Cancuns, the Fetts…. (Oh waitaminnit, you're still here   :-D) If  you had issues with the guy, that's your beef not mine. I agree with Mean Dean that if he isn't clinically depressed (as only a doctor could know) he needs to get a thicker skin and DIY if he's still interested in putting out his art.

Still, if we are a community instead of geekcore porndogs, a few good words wouldn't hurt…

At least they haven't tried to kill her, given DC's bent these days….  😡

Somehow I'm reminded of that segment in Woody Allen's "'Whatever You Wanted To Know About Sex But Were Afraid To Ask"  where a woman is turned into a giant mammary and breaks out. You wouldn't be pulling some surprise there, would'ja Dave?  😉 👿
