Why you don't have clean comics?

I dont draw anything sexually explicit because my knwledge of anatomy is awful. Language I prefer using symbols, because there are only so many swear words, but there's no limit to the number of interesting symbols you can draw to express a situation.

pseudo-swear words totally rock.

"Son of a mother and father" being one of my favorites.

Sex is a pretty touchy subject for me, so it will not be included in my comic.

And I'm fine with not having sex until I'm married - the true context in which it can actually be enjoyed.

Pshaw.


Oh, and I said there wouldn't be any sexually explicit stuff in my comic; but there will be the PG-13 "movie" sex where you don't get to see the good parts and stuff. 'Cause the plot, she moves like the wind....um, later on, anyway. ^_^

Yeah, OK, so that was a bit much.

But I do think it's something to be saved for marriage, and some things are simply worth the wait.

Plus I'd rather not go in to bed with someone who's been with Jed, Bob, Joe, Jack, and John... It's like going into bed with the rest. Eck. :o

heh, I just thought of something, maybe the reason why SEVERAL of you don't have SEX in your comics is because you've never HAD any yourselves and you don't want your characters beating you to it because then you would be jealous and your characters would be like "Yo, what's up never-had-any!" I bet that's what it is ..
I really hope you're kidding about that statement. Keep in mind sarcasm doesn't always translate well into text.
My comic doesn't feature it becuase it isnt important to the plot and would, therefore, be gratuitous. If it was important to the plot, it would be there.

Who said Tailsteak?

Anyway, I might find your statement translated into:

Well, relatives would say that. Friends would be more like: "Yeah, like you know anything about it".
I know that back when I was in prev-girlfriend state I didn't even had a freakin kiss in my comics. And a li'l back before, when I was a kid (up to 10-12 years) I hardly even had a female characters and even if I had, I didn't draw breasts on them. They were flat. :oops:

In my comic, I try to increase the amount of sex as the comic goes by. But I guess I won't go further than some point. We'll see what point. Same thing with violence. It resembles to my use of fault language: I think they are very expressive means, which loose their strenght by overusing. For instance, personally, I found that little skin shown in CRFH! more sexy that all those fuckups in Sexy losers.
Swears? I don't swear in real life more than my characters. I understand that people go for honest aproach and use them in comics as much as in real life abd that's ok. But I'm taught that swears are ugly and uncultured and if I were to ask, they wouldn't be used much in real life either. Please don't think I'm preachy, I know that 90% of population wouldn't agree with me, that's just the way I am.
Drugs and Alcohol? As much as I use it in real life, that means: drugs no, alcohol often.
Rave? Geez, that was a joke.

Going through my own archives, I'm a bit suprised at the lack of obscenities. But then I'm still in my first year, no?
I happen to like the word "fuck".

Violence... I lack the talent for graphic violence, but I got a fair share of cartoon violence.

As for sex, I've made mention of it and drawn a naked butt. That's about my limit cause I'd be embarrased to draw actual sexual content.

PS. Drugs and alchohol... so far only references. Those will be there, oh yes.

Now that you mentioned, the work "fuck" does sound kinda... well, like an explosion, soundy, rough...
"Fuck". "Fukk". "FUCK"...
"Fuck". "Fuck". "You". "Fuuuuuuck". "Fffffuck". "Fuc"-"k".
"Fuck". Just "fuck".

Am I an idiot or what? :oops:

Yes. Yes, you are.

I'm also one of the people who dosen't use it for every other word. It has value to me.
