Webcomics. And sex robots.

Hahha. This little bit of Octopus Pie made me giggle. We pretentious art school folk enjoy the ironic and hate posers. Hence, this is HI-larious. I will defiantly be reading more of this.

But it terms of webcomics I'd like to talk about a weird one, that I've read all of. Chester 5000 XYV.
Warning: This is defiantly NC-17 material. Do not read in a coffee shop or around your kids, it will lead to weird looks and it coming up in their therapy. 

What I like about Chester 500 XYV is that it's really girly and feminine but raunchy as hell, it's also mostly wordless which is pretty nifty. Here's a little synopsis: Victorian couple weds. Wife is horny and wants to have sex with her scientist husband all the time. But he doesn't have time to tend to her sex drive, so he does what every considerate husband would do. He invents a sex robot (a classy one I might add) so he can focus on his work (which mostly consists of 'inventor' like Belle's Dad in Beauty and Beast... I digress). At first she's a little insulted, but then she warms up to the idea and Chester rocks her world. They start doing it all the time, she begins to have feelings for Chester. CONFLICT! She loves her husband too! He starts getting all jealous (he shouldn't be so good at his job...) because she pretty much only has sex with Chester. So they decide to save the marriage to sell the thing. A nice lady comes to pick it up. Chester is upset because he loves the wife... I think there's an orgy at some point over tea. Then the husband starts sleeping with this lady who comes over to buy Chester.

That's about the jist of it. Now I love the artwork. It's really graphic, but cute. They breathe little hearts and since it's Victorian there are lots of petticoats and frills and long hair. I also enjoy that it has such a healthy perspective about female sexuality. It's penned by a woman so it has a feminine flair to it all. Embracing ones sexuality whatever your like is a gospel to be preached and Fink does a great job.  It being set in the Victorian age is funny, the whole victorian ideal of being chaste is just blown out of the water in this piece. It doesn't make sense, but it's fun to go along for the ride. And they're all good people for the most part. Even Chester, and he's a robot. They just have a sex drive and they embrace it. Hooray for technology!
