JENNIFER IS SO COOL

I CAN SING A RAINBOW

CRUMB'S WOMEN

I'm a big fan of R.Crumb for a number of reasons, and one of them is his pervy fantasies of big, strong, powerful (and sometimes exotic) women. He's such a puny little character and his love for large thighs and buttocks is strange and fascinating. Due to my football days, I have Crumb Woman legs and its funny seeing something that annoys the hell outta me being fetishized so repeatedly.

CATHOLICS IN THE COVENT GARDEN

LIKE A VIRGIN

What I like about religious iconography is that due to the lack of historical artifacts depicting exact images, practically anyone can design their own Jesus or Virgin Mary, leading to a diverse treasure trove of varying pictures of worship.

DESIGN YOUR OWN VIRGIN MARY.

NOTHING FEELS AS GOOD

REBIRTH

Yes! she will wake again,
Although her glowing limbs are motionless,
And silent those sweet lips,
Once breathing eloquence
That might have soothed a tiger’s rage
Or thawed the cold heart of a conqueror.
Her dewy eyes are closed,
And on their lids, whose texture fine
Scarce hides the dark blue orbs beneath,
The baby Sleep is pillowed;
Her golden tresses shade
The bosom’s stainless pride,
Curling like tendrils of the parasite
Around a marble column.

POWER HOUR

So theres an Alter Ego party on next week and I'm like - whats my alter ego!?!? When I was a teenager, I used the alter ego/alias me+Penelope, suggesting a naughty invisible friend who made me do bad things (Check Sleazenation mags around 2003 for letters we wrote to the mag).

However I think I need to find a recognisable character. I know who I'm gonna be - shhhhh!! - but while I was thinking about it I began to look at all those great female comic/cartoon characters that I loved as a kid. I love how theyre all curvy!!

Most mainstream comics are based on the notion of alter egos or "others" anyway - the ordinary person having another side to them. I guess alter egos are so prevalent in cartoons and comics because they are invincible and by nature of the medium ie stories, they seem to lead interesting lives. Even cartoons or stories based on day-to-day mundane events seem to have funny or exciting things going on! Above all, the seduction lies in the fact that we as humans and creators, write their story. We can make our alter egos be and do whatever we want. That power is extremely addictive and I guess thats why cartoons and comics will never die.











By the way - girl versions of boy characters don't count in my book...
