Escher Girls

Float like a butterfly, Sting like a WTF!?

This is a blog to archive and showcase the prevalence of certain ways women are depicted in illustrated pop media, specifically how women are posed, drawn, distorted, and/or sexualized out of context, often in ridiculous, impossible or disturbing ways that sacrifice storytelling.

SJ submitted: This is totally unofficial, but it just so much reminded me of the women on your blog, I wanted to show it to somebody who would appreciate the dog’s pose. Merry Christmas! Thank you!   Merry Christmas to you too! :D  Here’s a girl who looks like that dog: It’s sad that at this point I know exactly which pictures to use from my unposted pile that an animal pose reminds me of.  The second I saw that, I was like “oh I know which one that is”.  (also look at the legs of the girl in the back)

Nssa submitted: Bean is the ultimate Escher girl.  That may be so, but Bean may find Shi a formidable foe for the title.
