Good times.

Lots of peace and harmony.

You don’t need to be a pretenious snot with your views.

Wow, it’s almost like we’re back there!

Doop Rules!

But it's important to keep in mind that X-Men fans up to that point had been exposed mostly to characters wearing costumes that looked like they were little more than body paint, so an artist trying to make fabrics look halfway realistic was a shocking new development. “I remember when people seeing a camel toe on the X-men cover made long long debates over the internet…”

She needs some slack down there for when she's running. As opposed to Ross' bulge, which didn't match the physics of the material at all.
