I can usually handle tits and really I'm less offended by a good rack then I am by pointless gore (although neither actually offends me). <br /><br />Funny thing is it was so naturally a part of the story I never really noticed it as anything out of the ordinary. <br /><br />PS - Jersey Gods one of the best books of 2009!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352163584546054887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33311991.post-1210635951077372422009-12-07T14:15:50.924-05:002009-12-07T14:15:50.924-05:00You know, I've never really thought about it f...You know, I've never really thought about it from Kirkman's POV. My feeling is that if I don't make a big deal about it, neither will anyone else. It's just a boob (and FWIW, the panel in question also features a topless man. I'm progressive that way). Also, I should cover Glen's ass here and say that this wasn't in the script - I put it in because, as I said, I really like nipples. And also cos I like a bit of European flavour in my comics, and what's more European than nudity?<br /><br />How does it/will it affect sales? Not one jot, I'd imagine. Of course if you want to tell people that Issue 10 of Jersey Gods is the SEX ISSUE, I couldn't stop you (and it couldn't hurt :)Dan McDaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632918989008324574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33311991.post-57826117323814946292009-12-07T12:08:36.717-05:002009-12-07T12:08:36.717-05:00By the way, the us to whom I'm referring in wa...By the way, the us to whom I'm referring in walking around after sex is me and my wife. Don't want anyone to think I'm referring to you and me.

That is, what Robert Kirkman has written when people have raised it in his letter columns is that he'd get a lot more grief and trouble in getting the comic marketed if he included nudity, trouble that he doesn't get with graphic violence.<br /><br />Nice to hear you're presenting it as a natural occurence. I know I've never had either of us walk around in a sheet after sex, as is so often used as a method of hiding the "naughty bits". Tend not to have sex with the bits obstructed, either. Not that I'd mind depictions of naked, thrusting tits, mind you, but there's no need to go overboard in either the covering or uncovering. Natural's the way to go, something that should always be kept in mind while discussing tits.Red Dognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33311991.post-36565540504718556192009-12-07T11:41:04.519-05:002009-12-07T11:41:04.519-05:00Good point, Red Dog.

Although we have a bit of nudity, we're playing it as something natural between lovers, instead of having Zoe thrusting her - barely clothed - tits at the reader every other panel or so.Dan McDaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632918989008324574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33311991.post-49521563141454611432009-12-07T08:02:38.537-05:002009-12-07T08:02:38.537-05:00Good to know.

So far it's been restricted to titles like Scalped, which aren't at all concerned about being adult content.Red Dognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33311991.post-12025614263009048472009-12-06T18:46:36.282-05:002009-12-06T18:46:36.282-05:00The nudity gets a bit less coy in the next issue. ...The nudity gets a bit less coy in the next issue. <br /><br />What can I say?
