What rubbed me the wrong way was the bare breasts with liquid all over them. Add to that the passive stance of the women (look at the hands of the women compared to the hands of the men) and it is a completely misogyinistic (sp?) cover. I 'know it was a woman that made the cover, but that is irrelevant, women fall prey to misogyny as well. That's what's so horrible about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_Chauvinist_Pigs I didn't know squat about tentacleporn, yet i did find it offensive.

The funny thing is, if this were the poster to a mainstream Hollywood movie, no, I don't think it would be as offensive. So from that perspective, the sex therapist is not off the mark. (Apologies for misspellings and whatnot in this post, for reasons too boring to go into I can't actually see what I'm typing!)

Dr. Ian Kerner was the commentator for the sidebars. And I'm glad you enjoyed it! Also, if you can't find it at your LCS, you can order it by clicking through the shelf image at comicfoundry.com, or at the Midtown Comics site.

Perhaps I should venture out to Red Bank and go to the overpriced gift shop known as Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash? Yuck. God I miss living in DC. My LCS refuses to carry anything cool.
