You saw it here first, folks. (warning, large file)

I have the pleasure of working in a file room where for the most part I’m alone. So I occasionally steal a few lines on paper. I had gotten up to actually do some work and left my sketchbook uncovered when my mother, whom I work with, rushed into the room. Right over to the area where my book was.
I’m fairly certain my mom got a good long look at the Issue 23 Page 6. Three obvious panels of Cait and Adam. My shame. (more…)
OK, let’s cut to the chase. Reality is getting old.
It’s stale.
It’s predictable.
People are starting to say that life has ‘jumped the shark’.
That’s why we’re starting over.
We need fresh ideas, new talent.
New blood. And we’re not going to get bogged down by history.
Continuity reboot. Starting over from scratch.
That’s why we came to you.
You know all about this whole human reproduction thing, right?
So tell us, how would you do it?
How would you redesign pregnancy itself?
Often times when looking at maternity sites for clothing ideas I notice one thing that they all have in common. All the models are generally very small.
No one likes small.
Hey! Pop Quiz! Who am I? Whose website is this?
That’s right, I’m everyone’s favourite irrate midget, KB on KB’s Site of Wonders!
In somewhat relevant news. One of my pet peeves, when I read fiction or see art that includes the results of our fetish, is that people often don’t know how genetics work.
Even in professionally produced works the kids always end up looking exactly like one parent or the other. If Beast and Cecilia Reyes have kids genetics say their traits should draw from his original form; A white male. *
However writers often enjoy giving them exactly two children. One that looks like Mom and the other that looks like Dad. As seen here in X-men: The End.
Usually they go so far as to make them little copies. The son always takes after the father while the daughter takes after the mother. This often comes up in the form of fraternal twins.
It’s a cute little “Just like mommy, Just like daddy.” Cliche but it gets annoying.
But sometimes Genetics say FUCK YOU.
* I had a discussion with several people about this and they agreed. But let the Nerding commence.
