Omg the artist didn't draw her showing her underwear with an impossibly low cut jean that should nearly reveal her vagina, and reduced the cup size from the usual D to a C, with no cleavage!
It's almost as if now that he's dropped the pointless and ridiculously skimpy outfits the readers can actually see the point of the comic strip! Great progress
I'm fine with any exaggerated hot stuff in comics, but the victim mindset Jago displays is a big turn-off. Just be a milder, less funny version of Oglaf and take that as the W it is!
I'm also fine with hot stuff in comics as long as the artist doesn't try to gaslight me. Oglaf is actually witty, the sexualized stuff often has narrative relevance or is part of the characters personalities, and there are plenty of characters who aren't sexualised that balance things out. It doesn't raise unnecessary questions. And to take things one step further, Oglaf shows some variety of body shapes in the comics, making them visually interesting. The characters feel unique.
Jago otoh, just likes to draw the same thing, and the skimpy outfits are more often than not just plain irrelevant to the comic's point. Fair enough if that's what he likes, each to their own, but I'm not buying it when he tries to sell me some sort of moral high ground. Go take a hike (to Jago, not to you).
Pretty much! Be horny, but keep in mind that respect is hot.
Your point is? Apart from rambling of course.
Expressing my appreciation of this artist's improvement, of course. Comparing the current work with the majority of previous work.
