I first did it to shock people, but the "genre" has surpassed me a million times over by now…my stuff's so middle-of-the-road, it's got a white stripe up its back!

Don't forget personal choice when it comes to having "bulk" or not…

Where'd you see it, P.T.?

Thick is one I heard from a friend, which I rather like… so good call on that one Grandmaster.

Reinterpreted Black-American slang! 😀

I'd snap her bra strap (with the utmost respect, of course) just to have her talk a little sh*t to me!

(She has an ugly, manly voice)  😛

Better that than a thirty-year-old woman with the annoyingly high-pitched voice of a five-year-old (AKA a coo-coo bird)!

Talisman's abs on the cover of #1 are nothing to sneeze at, either!

Hard to say, but I think the age bracket of the given individual(s) has large element to do with it, especially with males (young and horny – Foreplay? Let's get on with it already! vs. a more mature understand about the relationships between men and women).  Today, thanks to the internet, the first sighting / contact of muscular women comes at a much earlier age then it did in the past – but also at a price of being much more removed and thus shallow, too, in character.  Instead of seeing them as living individuals with wills and personalities of their own, as would be the case with a real world encounter, they’re perceived as sexual objects.  Given this scenario, I think in general, most would gravitate toward sticking with "fetish as entertainment" over that of a broader interest.  Again, another factor you'd have to take into consideration is the growing decline in book reading by the general population – if you ain't exposed to it at an early age, you'll almost never acquire a taste for it.  This, is in part, why, with some very rare exceptions, you don't see the posting of novella (even rarer still, novel) length stories on the forums these days.

In the past, I would have said that there was a relative degree of balance between the two principle groups of people, i.e. those with a broader interest in the subject vs the sexual fetishist types.  Now, you don't see this, the scales have decidedly tipped in favor of the fetish over the broader interest.  This is, again, I think is a reflection of the current generation involved on-line, which is decidedly younger (in general as a group) then it was, say ten years ago.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I have to agree. Further, I'm beginning to think that for fictional women with muscle to be taken seriously, the flesh-and-blood athletes will have to demand it (again), maybe in conjunction with similarly-minded conscientious writers, artists, and promoters. A double (triple?)-pronged social attack, if you will. A few more Picturing the Modern Amazons to "compete" with Awefilms (which more than adequately serves the requirements of its niche), if only to achieve some much-needed balance.

Well I keep telling(Yelling) the artists here to submit to Overstreets White lighting productions, Just come up with a story !any story! sword and sandel,Medevil,slice of life and send it in!!There already Crappy artist getting there used nose tissues published from the WLP and Radio comixs!!

I'm not seeing how submitting work to a company publishing such substandard fare (as you describe it) is a good place to get something meaningful going…why associate oneself with dreck? There's too many print-on-demand services (whereby a cartoonist can do his/her own thing) for that.
