Shape, Femininity and Nudity

Every once in a while, we come across discussion about whether or not female characters in comic books are just too sexy (Gentlemanlybatman, « EDITORIAL: Are Women Just There To Be Sexy? », www.comicbookmovie, september 22, 2013) or simply (and uselessly) disproportioned ((Leigh Hart, « Boobs in Comics», http://www.comicbookdaily.com, April 5, 2013). We let our collaborators draw the characters as they imagine them.  But we have on occasion given instructions to emphasize the nudity of the characters because we feel that this type of soft eroticism is more natural. But we don’t want to go as far as full frontal nudity or “explicit sexual content,” as the TV warnings say.
