Okay, I'll admit it. I have an undue fondness for the
term "nipple-height". Originally this newspost was going
to contain a lengthy argument on the strange status that
our society has elevated the female nipple to... but
when I read it back, it looked like a thinly-veiled plea
for people to show me their nipples. I can probably do
without the sort of reputation that would get me.
Next order of business is the third instalment of
Super Smash Sisters. If Androdameia is Mario,
perhaps it's only logical that Pantariste is Wario. I
discovered a few interesting things while working on
this picture. Wario, as you're likely aware, has highly
exaggerated proportions, with a huge head and tiny
little legs. Since Pantariste's proportions are closer
to the norm, I discovered that her lower half in this
picture seems comparatively featureless. Wario's legs
maybe account for a fifth of his total height, as
opposed to around half, as in this picture. So, um,
there you go. I think I just blamed Nintendo for my
picture looking unbalanced. Yeah, Nintendo. You
should be very ashamed of yourselves.
Well, hello again! Were down at the bottom of the page
now, and you might notice something different about the
place. That's right, the banner's gone. Almost since
this site began, I've been a member of the Subculture of
One clique, a sort of banner exchange job with the focus
on female-heavy content. Now, if I'm being honest, it
didn't always work out that well. It took up a fairly
large amount of space in comparison to the very small
number of hits it got me, the weighting system meant
that it was almost always plugging Penny and Aggie,
a comic that I've never really been fussed with, and in
recent weeks it was usually broken. But I stuck with it
because, well, it was a nice idea in principle. Recently
I was told that the exchange was moving hosts due to the
amount of bandwidth it was eating. I signed up at the
new host, and for the last few days all went well...
until I was contacted again yesterday, and told me that
my site had been rejected. It seemed to be an automatic
mail, so there was no indication as to why. My initial
suspicion - that my gender was to blame - was allayed by
the fact that the male-authored Penny and Aggie
is still part of the system. Attempts to look into the
matter further failed when I discovered that my account
had already been deleted. Therefore I can only really
assume that the admin simply doesn't like my comic...
which, honestly, is fair enough. I'd be lying if I said
I wasn't a little bit hurt by the way this has happened,
but that's the way it goes. As of right now, we have no
banner at the foot of the page, and the place looks
marginally tidier as a result. In time, I may look into
Project Wonderful, but right now I don't think
my traffic is high enough to justify it, and those empty
ad-boxes can look rather ugly.
Anyway, more fun on Friday. Isn't it nice that I've
started updating on time again? For now. Best
not tempt fate, hmm?
