Bendis likes Cho’s Butts. Whether he can lie or not is uncertain
I’m borrowing a small passage quoted by Karen’s much better post “Person vs Persona, Or, INSTITUTIONAL SEXISM LOLZ!!”
ETA: As Karen points out, the quote was in need of repairs
“Then I go back in and balloon the s*** out of it, keeping in mind to never cover up a Cho butt with a balloon. NEVER!! Bendis laughed.”
I think I fear this quote more than our misquote.
…Then I go back in and delete the s*** out of it, keeping in mind to never cover up a Cho butt with a balloon. NEVER!! Bendis laughed.
So, let’s go quoting, round 2
Question 1. Why do these guys never have poodle fetishes?
Then I go back in and balloon the s*** out of it, keeping in mind to never cover up a Cho poodle with a balloon. NEVER!! Bendis laughed.
Or bananas?
Then I go back in and balloon the s*** out of it, keeping in mind to never cover up a Cho banana with a balloon. NEVER!! Bendis laughed.
Or Male Crotches?
Then I go back in and balloon the s*** out of it, keeping in mind to never cover up a Cho crotch with a balloon. NEVER!! Bendis laughed.
Or actually stick to their promise of “go back in and delete the s*** out of it”. Since they’re “keeping in mind to never cover up a Cho ass with a balloon”, Bendis is clearly keeping the shit in the comic.
The money quote for me remains “keeping in mind to never cover up a Cho butt with a balloon.”. Look, Bendis, buddy, can i call you Bendy? It’s probably nice for you that you’ve got a fetish for the sketched fantasy asses produced by your coworker, but dude, seriously, fetishism on your own time, not on the clock at Marvel.
You’re meant to be writing a comic book here, not a ChoButt spotters guide. Knowing that your stated priority is ensuring pencil and ink butt gets space in the panel does not fill me with confidence in the forthcoming work of Mighty Avengers.
Knowing this though, we have a new benchmark to play with in the forthcoming Mighty Avengers! ChoButts In Disguise!
If the butts are that important, will we get Captain America’s US-A grade tush? How about the Hulk? What say a bit of Spiderbutt? IronButtman? Thor’s got the body of a god, so he’d have an ass to match, right?
If there’s a word bubble hiding a Bendy-buddy Chobutts in the series, the reader gains 10 Chobutt points! Highest scorer gets to be thoroughly dismayed the hidden (word) bubble butts!
Stephen, heads-up - I totally misquoted by mistake. It's not "delete the s*** out of it" it's "balloon the s*** out of it."
Which doesn't change your point at all, but I fixed the error on my post, and then saw you'd reproduced it here.
Sorry!

I vote for SpiderButt, with Captain AmeriButt as a backup plan. Oooh, ThorButt, and we can double our pleasure now thanks to Clor! (Sorry, my bf has me hooked on saying Clor.) Come on, I haven't bought Marvel in a while, give me a tightly clenched reason!

Shouldn't cloneThor be "TwoThor" (and the spare spare be "NotThorEnough")?
Da Clor! Da Cloooor!

Am I the only one who would be vastly amused by a letter campaign wherein multiple people sent in snarkily irate letters every time a male ChoButt was covered up by a word balloon? Or whenever the male:female ChoButt ratio is not 1:1? Because Bendis says nothing in that quote about female butts, so we can expect it to apply to both genders, right?
Anyway. I'm not sure whether it's the blatant lack of professionalism/public display of fetishism that bothers me, so much as that I'm positive that any woman in the comics industry who said something equally blatant about male characters' butts, crotch sizes, or whatnot would be roundly criticized by the stereotypical fanboy contingent as a freaky unwashed feminist pervert.

I just have to say - your title? Gold.

When I first read the title, I thought it said "Bendis likes Cho's butt" (singular)…if only that's what the entry had actually been about…lol.
