Awesome Stuff: Pat Grant draws wicked comics

What little of the internet is not obsessing with cats or busily working to fulfill Rule 34 (do NOT google image search that rule) seems to me to be filled up with comedy.

Some of it is bloody awful, most of it is generally 'meh', but every now and then you come across an Artist. Someone who manages to combine style, humour and depth without coming across as an arrogant twit (such as a blog I may or may not write).

Pat Grant of Pat Grant Art Dot Com may not be the most original when it comes to names, but he is an Artist in the truest sense of the word.

And this is on low-res...

The Ethics of Staring at a Woman's Boobs

As with many great ethical issues of our time, the question of whether it is acceptable to stare at a woman's breasts is very simple, according to most people. Unfortunately whether that is a simple 'yes' or a simple 'no' depends entirely on who you are talking to.

Having risen out of the neolithic 1950s, women's rights are now the mainstream and it is well established in Australian society that staring at a woman's chest is rude, immature and grounds for a a well-deserved verbal thrashing. Modern women should dress how they wish and be free from harassment.

Recipients of these thrashings on the other hand, have been known to mutter that if women don't want their breasts stared at, then why are they putting them on display? And it is becoming increasingly difficult to argue that they aren't, with plunging necklines, push-up bras and even breast enlargement surgery becoming fairly normal in modern fashion. And it doesn't help that the most common answer you get when asking women why they dress like they do, if it's not to attract sexual attention, is “It makes me feel good about myself”, a line which could be used to justify just about anything.
