Your sick, sick, sick little ploy to attract readers will fail. Fail I tell you. Fail.I'm not going back to look at it again, right now, really. No way. Uh-uh. Bastard.

Who wants to take bets on which version gets more hits....
I'll got long odd on unedited vs. edited. Perverts. All of you.Damn, that means I am to.PS -- Artisticaly, nice poses, shows a lot of life study drawing. AND a much more rotund and well formatted Ralph that yesterdays. Rock on.------------------

uh, so why exactly DID it get edited?I mean, it's not exactly like you can't see almost that much in the archives? (and theres all that on the other site, which I haven't been to for a while) I'm confused...But it was still funny either way =]

Although I appreciate and enjoyed the original, uncensored version of today's strip, I have to admit it - I think the version on the main page is funnier. It's the different cheesy cover-up in each panel that does it, with the strategically placed MA stamp to top it off. Mind you, I have no objection to the unedited strip. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif"> To quote: "Hooray for Boobies!"

I think it ruined the joke. Sure , the censorship stuff was a little funny , but the unedited version was funnier.

Hey, Josh!Must say, I'ma huge fan of your work, and missed you coming to Dallas A Kon ( I think) by about a month (moved to CO).SO, the question is-

Dammit. That's the five millionth time I made a winking smiley appear when I really just wanted it to be a semicolon followed by a closed-parenthesis. I hate those fucking smileys.Couldn't you just hit "disable smileys?" Personally, I kinda like the old sideways smilies.

And how would the unedited version get more hits if the edited version comes up on the front page?

Strangefour · Post by **Strangefour** » Wed Dec 06, 2000 7:31 am

The unedited one will definitely win. Now I just have to copy it to my HD before Poe gets shy and hides it on us. And Poe I gotta ask, how do you color? Either you take a long time or you know some good cheats (looks kinda like Polykarbon style). Though I personally don't like the nipple topography. I prefer large areolas to the traditional manga style tiny teats:P ------------------

Hmmm... so all it takes is blatant softcore porn to drag Josh-kun off his 'spot and into 'space. I have many things to draw now H-H And I also have to say manga pubic hair is roughon the fingers that hold and manipulate... the pencil I use to draw it to draw. ie SMOOTH GOOD!

Well, hell, since I'm the constant voice of favor for more free range breasts, I shall join in the vote that says the unedited will indeed get just as many or more hits than the first.Oh, and Poe, you're aware that "kids" can get more sexually oriented and explicit content than this just by hitting the Encyclopedia Brittainica and Library of Congress sites, right?So, like, fight the power, man.

You know...given the recent rants I've seen against CN censorship (at least ya'll get it!) I'd have to say that the "edited" comic makes a great joke...fits right in. Good job. 
Artisticaly, the nekkid bit is good though...------------------

Wow.
Perhaps disappearing for a couple days when you do a naked comic strip is a bad idea.. Where to begin?Waldoshi: It really doesn't which version gets more traffic... Since the link to the unedited version is directly to the file and not to a web page, it's not like it's getting me extra adveiws (and, yes, I am quite aware that Crosby is probably cursing my name aloud for not putting it on a page with a banner ad that he'd get cash from over it) And besides, the file is actually on my personal site so it's not even counting to EN's hit total either. Strangefour: the CG is mainly just cheating, I do a normal 'anime' style coloring job on it first, then throw a gradient of three deferent light values of flesh tones over it, then fade the gradient to about 70%.

I have to say, I agree with theEric - I think the unedited version *is* funnier. Remember, strippers have always been popular, and their clothing has never been designed to reveal so much as to suggest the imminence of revalation. EN has become popular for the way it dances close to the boundaries of good taste. I'm not sure if this crosses it, but - heck, I prefered the edited version. Bleh
