Thursday word: "Brokeback"

[brendala.livejournal.com]

Most people think of this movie when they hear the word “brokeback”:


aka ‘gay cowboys eating pudding’


But among the online comic book fan community, its taken on a new meaning. Its used to describe the ridiculous poses that female characters are often contorted into. More specifically, its used to describe the poses that break the rules of basic human anatomy just to show off a woman’s boobs and buttocks at the same time. For example:




…and more humorous examples from actual comics can be found at the Escher Girls blog.

FYI, if you ever see a comic with a brokeback pose on the cover, chances are it’s a crappy piece of softcore porn and you’re better off not buying it.

I LOVE the Hawkeye Initiative! I thought about including it in my write up. But I opted for Escher Girls because that blog is more focused on the brokeback than the Hawkeye Initiative.

That totally makes sense.

I realize that The Hawkeye Initiative is well known at this point, but I couldn't resist mentioning it again just in case. I'm impressed that a few males have recently taken photos of themselves as Hawkeye posed oddly. ha, ha, ha!
