Dude, I don't know who WOULDN'T cry at that! ;_; My gosh, some of the women are more manly than the men! XD

*shudders*

The poses just keep getting creepier....

Oy gevalt.

That's the funniest thing I've seen in days.

And the people who most need to won't see either irony or camp in it.

Jesus... Dude, I'm no art critic. Seriously.

I like to think anyone can become a professional if they try hard enough.

That art was just horrible! o_o Better than SOME I've seen out there. But, still... :P

That almost physically hurt to look at, considering the text trying to convince the reader that she was an actual pro. :P

I'm being excessivly harsh 'n' all. But, man... If Vince doesn't cry at that, I sure as hell will. :P

I should amend that while I AM aware that it was a spoof of sorts, it did kinda take the joke a little too far in some places. :P

It had to be a joke...right?

The original is making the rounds of most of the comics blogs I read. It's a terrific summary of all the lazy, sexist cliches in comics art.

What The Gneech linked to is a splendid parody, putting female figures in the poses that the men were in, and vice-versa.

"Splendid" isn't the word I'd use, but my taste in parody runs mostly through to Weird Al Yankovic. ;)

"Splendid?" It's not splendid if half the time I couldn't tell what gender they were...took a long time for it to sink in as a parody, because the lack of context made me think it was just someone trying to make a comic how-to for gay people o.0
Yeah, I know that was sort of the point, but a better artist could have retained the structure and anatomy of the gender and still done the silly stereotypical poses and exaggerated features. I had to read about half of it before realizing they had switched BOTH the genders. I thought that the artist merely had no ability to draw chests (since that is the ONLY difference in most of those pages).

As pegasus316 said, I'm crying at the art itself ;_;

Hmph, the boys can dish it out but they can't take it?

Ugh! It's AWFUL! *cries*

That's just wrong. It's accurate, but it's still just wrong.

My goodness, the parody is just beautiful, and it still makes me want to cry :)
