Somehow, I think someone will eventually venture the opinion that this episode is merely fanservice in some way. Clearly, they are missing the important foreshadowing provided by this event where, in days to come, Monica will defend herself by blinding her attacker with a shapely blindfold!
Nope. Not fanservice in the least. Nothing to see here but plot exposition folks! Move along now.
… and then somehow Deitzel saw her naked and bra-faced, paused a moment, then nonchalantly walked over to her desk and handed her one of her old therapists number out of the rolodex.
Hey, she not only managed to poit it on her, she even managed to fasten it in the back during the process, and got it right side up and right way ’round. I give her a C+.
I’m just… not touching this one. I will say, who hasn’t put a bra on their head and pretended to have cat ears? Monica’s just picked a different mammal.
Hate to break it to ya ziggy but bugs are arthropods, not mammals. but your point is still valid. wearing clothes that aren’t supposed to be on your head on your head as a costume is awesome!
I’ve never done anything like that, personally. But I suppose men just don’t have any special garments that wear funny in other places… … … At least, I have no intention of putting my athletic cup anywhere other than it’s intended to go. >.o
During John and Harry’s “lost years”, they were thrown out of an LA club because they were drunk and obstreperous and John was wearing a sanitary napkin and belt on his head…
Good one. I’ve always thought any woman who shows as much clevage as Monica often does, loses the right to say that anyway. That or wearing something so tight you can make out the veins. Clearly she wants people to look at them. Saying anything to the contrary is just plain hypocritical.
Says someone who has never had to dress a large chest.
Women’s T-shirts, the cut of which look perfectly respectable on a B or C cup chest, show cleavage out the wazoo on a DD cup or larger–and yes, even assuming you’ve chosen the right size for your measurements. In fact, about the only top that *doesn’t* show cleavage on a large-busted woman is a turtleneck.
Okay, I should have been more specific. I meant the kind of excessive clevage someone might show when out on the town or some such, not in everyday dress. Assuming one is not an attention whore, dressing like that all the time. If tee shirts never fit properly, it would seem to me the best thing to do is not wear them in public. That is an option after all.
The best comeback I ever heard to the “my eyes are up here” thing was “yeah, but your eyes don’t jiggle nicely when you walk.”
Of course not, but that statement is based on a false premise. There would always be some size that fits. It may not fit well in other areas, but that can be adjusted. Same with shirts (tops, whatever). There should be some size that would fit properly where the bust is concerned. If it is too big in other areas, have it taken in or wear a belt, whatever works.
It used to be all clothes were custom made to fit the individual, or he/she made it fit. Today’s ready to wear culture seems to have caused people to forget that there are alternatives to just what is on the rack (no pun intended).
The assumption being made now is that every person who has a ponderous bosom must be able to afford not only buying the clothes that fit the rack, but then the alterations that follow.
As someone who has to shop in specialty stores just for my bras (not cheap), and then shop in specialty stores for many of my outfits for work since they have to fit well and be classy and professional (also not cheap), getting my “regular” clothes altered becomes impossible on my current income.
Sometimes off-the-rack is all we can afford, and given the choice between looking like a behemoth and showing cleavage, most women (me included) will show cleavage. You may say that we made the choice, so have earned the looks; however, I say that we weren’t given fair options.
It’s my understanding that’s why the home sewing machine was invented. From what I gather, women used to not only do their own alterations, but often made their own clothes. I know that’s a quaint custom these days, but it is still possible. Cheaper still is a needle and thread.
I’m not saying you don’t have a difficult time of it, just saying there are alternatives.
I guess you have a point, though that era was before there were that many women in the workforce…but then it becomes a discussion of how people choose to spend their time at home…and I don’t want to do that. So yay for sewing and the people who still can!
I read the thread, so I know you have nothing more to say on the matter, but I would like to point this out: a full coverage T-shirt, no matter how well tailored or by whom, would not help Monica’s case. She’s got FF’s that you could see a quarter-mile away under two sweaters and a burqua. People would stare no matter what- especially given that she’s, in her own words, “the size of a ten year old” and dainty in all her other measurements besides. Thinking about it from her perspective, I can imagine that she’d just say ‘screw it’ after a while and just wear whatever she wanted. I agree that some women are dicks about the whole thing- getting all snarky when they’re wearing a top cut down to their navel, but when someone is too busy staring at your rack to complete a verbal exchange, although you’re dressed in an Oxford and respectably high camisole, (even for a C cup gal like myself) it’s annoying enough to prompt an irritable ‘cease and desist’.
Yes, I agree to the extent that if you’ve made reasonable efforts to be conservative in your dress, then certainly a reminder of ocular location is in order.
RE your August 11, 9:42 post…
I would say that many very well proportioned girls who wear ‘giant’ sweaters, shirts, tents etc to cover up easily are not usually noticed for their chest size, but rather as a ‘very fat girl’ a prime example is the comic ‘jo brand’ … http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Brand
People’s views of her were changed very much when a famous ‘makeover’ show actually revealed that she HAS Got a good trim body for a 50 year old, they just found a well fitting bra for her massive pair, and got decent clothes onto her!
many larger girls in the uk are now being given the confidence to show it off, and *who cares* if poor, weak men cannot help to look… so pity them, if they are not strong enough to resist!!!
Oh, sorry for the confusion. I wasn’t suggesting that Monica and women built like her swathe themselves in unflattering layers of clothing- I was just making a point.
When my little sister was VERY little she used to put our mom’s over her head and call ‘em “earlaps” or “earmuffings”. She discovered pretty fast that even if the family thought it was hysterically funny, you really didn’t make much of a hit when company was over.
That is ironic. Your post got me to doing the google thing on Wapsi and I found a website which doesn’t like Paul or his comic. Even worse, they don’t think much of us, his fans! http://badwebcomics.wikidot.com/wapsi-square While I don’t agree with much of what they say, it was interesting to see another POV of the whole thing. Negative though it is. We do tend to get caught up in our own little pro-Wapsi world here.
Badwebcomics.com is a sort of institutionalised troll fest.
I think it was there that i found some incredibly homophobic comments about “The Wotch” and other comics with transgendered hero(ine)s ,,, and their creators.
It’s not quite as bad as SomethingAwful.com – whose members boast of disrupting webcomic sites…
Okay maybe this comic does take a while to progress but to insult Garfield what sick twisted person could do such a thing? Thats like insulting Calvin and Hobbes. That and those review things are written by people who not only don’t actually read the comic but take time to write long winded complaint due to having nothing better to do. And to all those people like that out there I say, ha ha i have a hot girlfriend and a large plate of pot brownies and all you have are annoying reviews on the internet.
I’ve totally done that! I’ve also done the Leia look, and the Bra-that-eats-faces look. I still say the favorite though was when I realized that taking a formed-cup bra and folding it in half (so the underwires lined up) would make a decent sized purse. That should be the next big thing in handbags if you ask me…accessories that are pretty, and yet slightly risque in nature. Isn’t that what movie starlets love best?
I don’t know. I’m not sure I’d want a purse made from something into which I had sloughed off dead boob skin cells and probably sweated in for possibly years.
Well, to be fair, my link was about finding a new use for old bras. I only remembered that there was such an article because the idea seemed bizarre to me. OTOH, a lot of teens show off at least the top part of underwear they are currently wearing and no one would accuse me have having much fashion sense.
I didn’t even notice that there was a discussion tab over there. I guess there is risk in being a trendsetter. Did you see the one comment that said they sometimes sell for $75, though?
So you want there to be at least a little doubt about you being as crazy as you say. Oh, well…
Yeah, but I doubt I could create a piece worthy of a $75 price tag. My craft/art skills are on par with a 4 yr old (well…that’s not entirely true. I can color like a mofo!)
And of course I want there to be some haziness regarding the topic of my sanity. I have to be able to fool the people I work with into thinking that I’m respectable and serious. I work in the Compliance portion of the Financial Services Industry.
Well, Maybe a LITTLE ‘fan service’ (I always thought that meant something naughty) mostly I think this is a ‘OhNoItsthemiddleoftheweekIhavetostretchthisout’ kind of entry today.
For it TO work, the bra would have to be in the proper position and orientation first, with the straps and the cups fully extended.
She should buy one of those headless torso mannikins that stores
use to model bras, put the bra on it, and poit! it from there.
PS: Good luck finding one in her size.
Does she know anyone who’s a sculptor?
Wood carver?
Metal worker? (BING!)
See- I thought that when she poited out of her bra before, she was able to do it because she wasn’t so much moving her clothes off but moving herself out of them. So now I’m surprised and confused, because now it looks like she can call objects to her, which I don’t remember her doing before.
Heheheheh .
(In a tiny voice) “Help meeeeeee! Heeeeelp meeeeeee!”
Hottest bug Ever
Ohhh, Paul you are going to cause a rush on keyboard & monitor cleaners. fun-ni funny phunny!
Somehow, I think someone will eventually venture the opinion that this episode is merely fanservice in some way. Clearly, they are missing the important foreshadowing provided by this event where, in days to come, Monica will defend herself by blinding her attacker with a shapely blindfold!
Nope. Not fanservice in the least. Nothing to see here but plot exposition folks! Move along now.
You too, sonny! Get off the lawn!
XD i think it’s just a random funny he felt like sharing?
Nah. It’s only fan service if she was so startled she dropped the towel.
… and then somehow Deitzel saw her naked and bra-faced, paused a moment, then nonchalantly walked over to her desk and handed her one of her old therapists number out of the rolodex.
Naw, he takes a picture which ends up on Youtube.
youtube is for videos not pictures
nice reference to “The Help” well deserving of props.
So, yeah.
Props.
…
I got nothing else.
Practice makes perfect, and she’s practicing. And Jin showed it can be done.
Hey, she not only managed to poit it on her, she even managed to fasten it in the back during the process, and got it right side up and right way ’round. I give her a C+.
I agree. She displayed impressive control. She just needs to work on body positioning…
I’m impressed that she knows what she looks like.
She obviously has had this type of garment on her head before, how else could she recognize the view from the inside.
Pee and Poop…. not an operation you want to get wrong.
“remember.. content not container, content not container!”
It’s the large thorax lycra eyed water beetle….uh right?
Help me! Please! Help Me!
*shudder*
I saw that movie when I was too young to see it. It left a clearly indelible, and not good, impression on me.
“I’m not getting worse, I’m getting better!”
I know what you mean.
Now, that’s just cute.
Dan Aykroyd as Sgt. Frank Tree – 1941!
…but she looks better saying the line.
I’m just… not touching this one. I will say, who hasn’t put a bra on their head and pretended to have cat ears? Monica’s just picked a different mammal.
Hate to break it to ya ziggy but bugs are arthropods, not mammals. but your point is still valid. wearing clothes that aren’t supposed to be on your head on your head as a costume is awesome!
You’ve obviously never read “Dreamwalk Journal”, a totally NSFW (and sadly unfinished) webcomic about humanoid insects with BIG BOOBS (or willies).
A white t-shirt around the face makes a respectable wimple. Remember that next time you want to dress up as a nun for Halloween…
I’ve never done anything like that, personally. But I suppose men just don’t have any special garments that wear funny in other places… … … At least, I have no intention of putting my athletic cup anywhere other than it’s intended to go. >.o
Two words. Jock strap.
Six words.
John Lennon.
Harry Nillsson.
Sanitary napkin.
3 words, WTF?
During John and Harry’s “lost years”, they were thrown out of an LA club because they were drunk and obstreperous and John was wearing a sanitary napkin and belt on his head…
Which brings up the question, what’s John doing with a sanitary napkin in his possession?
Blame it on Yokie.
Did you mean “mammal” or was that a typo?
Freudian slip?
(No, it’s a bra, not a slip.)
Arrrrrrghhh! That stinketh!
So, does this mean she’s no longer allowed to use the line “my eyes are up here”?
Good one. I’ve always thought any woman who shows as much clevage as Monica often does, loses the right to say that anyway. That or wearing something so tight you can make out the veins. Clearly she wants people to look at them. Saying anything to the contrary is just plain hypocritical.

“If tee shirts never fit properly, it would seem to me the best thing to do is not wear them in public. That is an option after all.”
So I’m guessing that if every set of jeans you ever wore bulged with your no doubt ponderous manhood, you’d ditch them and wear a kilt?
Seriously doubt it.
Of course not, but that statement is based on a false premise. There would always be some size that fits. It may not fit well in other areas, but that can be adjusted.

Wow…that seems a bit harsh. Then again, according to the author of that critique, I’m an über-fan since I don’t post loads of criticisms.
*shrugs* Then again, if I thought his comic was in need of criticism from someone like me, I probably wouldn’t come back.

You’d make it out of a new, never-been-worn bra silly!
Hmm…I don’t know if I’m pleased that someone has already thought of it, or frightened that my weird ideas are shared.
Well, to be fair, my link was about finding a new use for old bras. I only remembered that there was such an article because the idea seemed bizarre to me. OTOH, a lot of teens show off at least the top part of underwear they are currently wearing and no one would accuse me have having much fashion sense.
BTW, is it too late to ask for pictures?
Be scared, Be very frightened.
Well, judging by the comments posted in response to the idea you linked, I won’t be running out to buy a bunch of bras for craft purposes.
Oh, and I generally avoid cameras when I’m being silly with my bras.
I don’t want hard evidence of my insanity.

Well, Maybe a LITTLE ‘fan service’ (I always thought that meant something naughty) mostly I think this is a ‘OhNoItsthemiddleoftheweekIhavetostretchthisout’ kind of entry today.
LOL! Great comic relief…
This has got to be one of my favorite strips ever. BZZZZZZ!
Funny you should say that…your icon is from MY favorite strip ever. This one is number 3 on the list.
Just curious, what came in second?
Braless pirouette.
Paul, that is as classic as Jin wearing her “Little-Bo-Peep” costume strip! Thanks for the laugh, this is awesome!
That’s funny. ^__^
The execution was a little off, but the recovery was excellent.
Monica is now a real fly girl.
-today’s episode brought to you in Jane Russell-Vision(tm)
Kitten Natividad.
Who was born in Ciudad Juarez, … a busty latina, indeed.
I was in mind of Jane’s bra commercials of TV past, but hey, any excuse for pin up girls!
I wonder how many people just got a costume idea for their next Halloween party they attend.
hahahahaah!! I love Monica’s playfulness!
Hey Monica; is anything BUGGING you today Eh? (ROTFLMAO)
Can I borrow your towel for a minute? My car just hit a water buffalo…
That shouldn’t have worked.
Oh… It didn’t.
For it TO work, the bra would have to be in the proper position and orientation first, with the straps and the cups fully extended.
She should buy one of those headless torso mannikins that stores
use to model bras, put the bra on it, and poit! it from there.
PS: Good luck finding one in her size.
Does she know anyone who’s a sculptor?
Wood carver?
Metal worker? (BING!)
The second panel makes it looks as if orienting the bra correctly wasn’t the problem. Why put restrictions on something that we can’t understand?
Right.
Let’s not start that again.
Soooo Monica.
It’s good to see Monica taking her failed poits , in stride .
Does this mean she thinks she’s taller than she actually is?
I just took a second look and I’m not sure that it’s her bra. It is big but shouldn’t Monica’s bras cover more of her head?
I think it might be one of her skimpy bras .
She has beautiful…eyes!
When Monica’s in a hurry, does she dress on the FLY? (snicker)
See- I thought that when she poited out of her bra before, she was able to do it because she wasn’t so much moving her clothes off but moving herself out of them. So now I’m surprised and confused, because now it looks like she can call objects to her, which I don’t remember her doing before.
Doesn’t Amanda count as an object?
She’s not sexy enough to be an object.
ouch
I suppose…if you insist on being all accurate with it.
Why do guys put brassieres on their heads? As someone who is DD cup (so has to wear a bra), this kinda weirds me out…
just look at your avatar..
a bra is a good ‘aero goggles’ substitute! *anything* to get a laugh, or even just an ‘ewwwww’ !!! 
:D
*points up to her comment about having done the same thing* I wear a G cup, and I still goof around with the underwear.
I suppose mine could be used as a double-barreled slingshot
And now for something funny!
