I never said rape is not a big deal! Obviously it is, and if you knew anything about my background or education (not that I’m expecting you to, but you know), you’d know I’m not making light of it.

Nor am I making light of rape in the context of the comic, but rather in my comments to a friend of mine. I felt okay about doing that with him because
- Actual rape in this comic is only implied, not explicitly stated
- The person I was talking to is intelligent enough to know that rape or assaults against women is not a good thing
- He knows (and my readers know) that I am not the kind of person to joke about a non-fictional rape situation
- actual rape or assault outside of the grabbing of Angora’s arm does not occur in the comic, and is presented in a negative light
- in the comic, the attempted assault is rejected by other characters and is ultimately punished

Hopefully that gives you a bit of insight as to that specific comment. Of course you are free to keep your opinion of the comic or myself based on three pages of material and an authors comments, but I am not going to change my comic because of it.

Dude, you are coming off as an ignorant douche. It’s one thing to make a “humorous” comic about rape and stand by its offensiveness as… well, extremely offensive but “funny”, or extremely offensive but an expression of your constitutional right to free speech. It’s quite another (freaking awful) thing to not even seem to REALIZE how offensive it is. To not seem to care that rape is horrible, violent, and soul-damaging to women (aka your mothers, sisters, friends). “I GUESS”? What the hell is THAT? Do you not think rape is a big deal? Because news flash, it is.

Heh. The only thing that amazes me more than the oversensitivity of some people is the desperation of the Political Correctness movement to try and appease them.

Kudos to people with thick skins!

Wait, not going to quit reading, or are going to quit reading? Either way, thanks for visiting If you are going to keep reading you’ll find out that the nudity is not done in a tasteless manner and is meant to make the character more naturalistic.

Hey, I like the visual style of the comic, but I have to say, the nudity’s just too much for me to handle, so I’m not gonna quit reading what looks like an otherwise excellent comic.

It is really about context, haha! And I don’t mind Southpaw’s comment, I definitely get where she/he was coming from since it is a bit strange to start a story on that kind of note. I was more talking about some other comments I didn’t let through that were just spammy.

The point is that she didn’t get caught, and if she did (and something awful happened) I definitely wouldn’t be mixing it up with fluffy animals and physical humor… thanks for the comment!

Haha, oh boy, that last comment… While I get why Southpaw thinks he/she has reason to be concerned, what I got was that this situation is being portrayed without much gravity because the comic is primarily from Angora’s point of view. Angora doesn’t understand the gravity of the situation, so making the situation as light she she likely feels it is is a -good- storytelling dynamic. If Angora knew what was going on, she’d be freakin’ terrified, and this scene would be freakin’ terrifying. The purpose of this isn’t to take light of rape. It’s giving insight into Angora’s innocent character. If this was a comic about the men trying to rape a girl and still portrayed this scene as hilarious, that would be completely different, but seeing as it’s NOT, freaking out about the lightness is a major overreaction.

Anyways, the comic is gorgeous. I’m really loving the style and colors so far! Don’t worry about undeserved flak like that, I’m certain it will be minimal compared to all the deserved praise you get on it.
