More disappointment

I want to like this webcomic, which is reasonably well-drawn, amusingly-conceived, and very clever, but... the protagonist. I am made irrationally angry by heterosexual male creators who insist on mary-suing (Okay, not quite mary-sue; what's a term for this? Galatea-ing?) up their female pinups characters with all the positive attributes they can possibly think of, but oh noes she is too smart and therefore socially awkward in an adorable way! That is not cute at all, sincerely! It is also totally irrelevant that she is half-asian and has big tits for some reason!
False character flaws. What a burden. It troubles me that this kind of shit mars up the potentially really pleasant surface of an otherwise fun work.
I mean, for serious, check out the too-small button-down halfway down, as well as the obnoxious sleep-splay-boobs on the shot immediately to the left. COME ON.

seems a me he's just a kid, a young 'un not aware of the choices he's making.

I was thinking how nice it would be to draw like that... but if I only put a comic up once every two months I'd probably be able to.

ha also maybe she's ACTUALLY directly based on some chesty half-asian (but "low-charisma") chick he knows. THAT'D SHOW YOU

I do not know! Maybe he will do so soon.
You should allow me to stink it up with a guest strip.
