This is just badly drawn naked ladies saying s***. It took John Bryne, comic writer, author, artist, and loudmouth to say what was on everyone's mind. American comic books are growing up. Becoming more mature. More adult.
And now, on Xbow: Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Lade and its bit-player Leopold, the self-pleasuring primate; Playboy: The Mansion, with a virtual Hef taking the skin boat to tuna town on the couch; The Guy Game, which breaks up the monotonus minigames with boobies and the women who proudly bear them; and Darkwatch: Curse of the West with sex scenes.
Comic books, as a medium, stretched to find a new identity. The going was not easy, and the early days of the shift toward a more adult audience were filled with Byrne's cursing, crudely drawn females. For every Watchmen, there were five Cherry Poptarts. And for every Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, there were 10 Black Kisses.
As gamemakers struggle with the definition of adult, I hope they'll discover it means more than bared mammaries and the F word blurted five times in as many minutes. Right now, it just seems it's just naked ladies abusing the English language.
