Be careful what you wish for.
As basically every single "hot" female character doing it already, wishing for more of it would lead to the Brokeback Pose™ as performed by Pink Bear, Cassandra Nova, Big Bertha and Aunt May.

Yessir. I don't mind seeing cheesecake in comics. It's a staple.

If Aunt May is now going to look like Sally Field, I'm cool with that.

So were racist caricatures, you want them back too?

You missed one Carabas.

There's cheesecake and there's just ridiculous positions for given situations.

I'll take absurd positioning for a comic like Tarot rather than sonething like mainstream spandex because of how hard they are trying to root it in some kind of realism. In that situation you can't have your cheesecake and eat it too.

I started, and then realized that if isn't self-evident to someone, they are not someone I want to have a conversation with.

Maybe false to you, but not to many of us.

I find this idea oddly exciting...
