And those overworked employees and freelancers did an incredible job of laying the groundwork for the high quality of comic books we have today.

NSFW... The C-U-Next-Tuesday Coloring Book Posted: 3 years ago by gnikgnok
’In 1973 I set out to do drawings of women’s genitals for use in sex education groups. I wanted the drawings to be lovely and informative, to give pleasure and affirmation.

As adults many of us still need to learn about our external sexual anatomy.’ -Tee Corinne
