A-Cup Angst in webcomics.


  • Played with a little in Alice when the girls get their first training bras and none of them are developed enough to show — so Joanne stuffs her bra with tissues to make it appear that she's got huge breasts. Nobody's fooled for even a second.
  • Brother Complex: Megan expresses shades of this at times, even though she's pretty busty herself for an average girl (around size C). It's just that the other girls in Jack's life are unnaturally larger. While at the gym, Dr. Lilly complains to Megan about having these issues as well, bemoaning that she can't get a boyfriend with big girls like Rose around.
  • In this Captain SNES: The Game Masta strip, Lucca is implied to suffer from this trope via an unexpected revelation from Gato, who thought he was praising her and the signs of her "perfection" but ended up giving a Compliment Backfire speech. The main problem is she made the mistake of giving him a rough neural map of her brain as part of his AI, which apparently included her memories as well.
  • Eerie Cuties: Brooke is pretty confident, so she doesn't usually concern herself about her looks, though there is a certain area she feels she's lacking in. But she got over it, once she started dating.
  • Sarah from El Goonish Shive doesn't normally seem bothered by her relative lack of endowment, but sometimes it becomes an issue... Various non-canon or semi-canon stories have implied that, while she isn't exactly bothered by her usual measurements, part of her interest in transformation magic is the possibility of changing them.
  • In her sometimes semi-autobiographical webcomic The Fart Party the author/artist Julia Werz tells of the day in the 7th grade when a cute guy that she had a crush on sat next to her in the lunch room and out of the blue asked her what her bra size was. She was so surprised that she immediately blurted out "32AA" without thinking and was known as "Tiny Tits" for the rest of the school year. [1]
  • Chapter 31 of Furry Fight Chronicles has Ida mocking Cookie by telling her that she outgrew her in size and breast size. The squirrel promptly charges at Ida, forgetting that she's a hedgehog. End result was Cookie having oversized quills on her face.
    Cookie: For a squirrel I'm tall! And well-endowed! Get tackled!
  • Sydney in Grrl Power joins a superhero team, where all of the "inherently powered" team members tend to appear with an idealized body type; Sydney has powers obtained from items. She complains once: "I never knew you could feel fat and skinny at the same time." — with the A-cup Angst part of the "skinny". (The rest of the "skinny" is lacking muscles, but that's related to a different trope.) Peggy, who's also a "normal" team member proclaims the two of them to be members of the "A-Team", and Sydney is not amused at the implication. She's later mentioned to be "Sexiest Superheroine" in A-Cup Aficionados Quarterly; Sydney's response is "What?!"
  • Yuko from Johnny Wander (both in comic and in real-life).
  • Karin-dou 4koma: Seren and Tamaryu are very sensitive about their flatness. Seren's reactions in particular range from fury, to padding her chest, to locking herself in her room. But somehow, her genuine angst is actually deliberate, to make her immortality more interesting. Her unsealed form is actually reasonably endowed.
  • Secret from Keychain of Creation displays elements of this, particularly around Marena.
  • MegaTokyo. Although she doesn't seem too self-conscious about it, it's been noted that Nanasawa Kimiko is rather flat-chested — both in her initial appearance at Anna Miller's, when she apparently was wearing inserts to work, and again during Piro's conversation with Tsubasa over the internet after Kimiko's radio outburst makes her an instant star.
  • Kiley from Ménage à 3, so much so that when she dreams of being a professional therapist, she also dreams of having large breasts to go along with it, and when Yuki mentioned that her girlfriend had small breasts too, she cried tears of joy. Her introductory strip even had her comparing herself unfavorably with the buxom Didi, who later became her girlfriend. Not that Kiley had any say in this matter, mind you; she was simply too terrified of DiDi to refuse, and also felt professionally obligated as her therapist to keep providing her with "treatment". Kiley later made a cameo in Sequel Series Pixie Trix Comix as a Funny Background Event in one of Sharon's Instagram selfies. In it, she can be seen staring at Sharon's generous assets with a very sad expression while clutching her own chest. And then the comic saw fit to torture her even more by deciding that not only were she and Sharon cousins, but roommates as well, meaning Kiley has to live with a constant reminder of her insecurity.
  • Missi Fuller from Misfile is by far the flattest member of the cast and frequently complains about it. This culminated in an amusing fantasy sequence where she imagines what she'd do if she was built like Ash. Emily actually manages to tease Missi very effectively on this point, though she gets Emily back good a few strips later. Note that Missi instantly flips from A-Cup Angst to Petite Pride because she thinks Ash is expressing a preference for small-breasted women when Ash is actually complaining about having breasts in the first place.
  • A minor source of angst for Wonderella in The Non-Adventures of Wonderella, to the point that in this comic she goes to Dr. Shark for breast augmentation. He asks her to not do it just out of societal pressure and consider what body feels right for her. She opts to keep her breasts the way they are...and get ass lasers and rocket feet instead.
  • Violet of The Noordegraaf Files is the flattest member of the main cast (she is mistaken for male by the protagonist), and while it isn't flat-out stated she's embarrassed about her lack of bustiness, it's heavily implied to be one of the reasons her jealousy of the heroine, Katrina, exists. However, it's revealed that she has a darker reason for her angst than just jealousy - sometime in her Dark and Troubled Past her breasts had been cut off. Despite all this, she has a boyfriend who loves her and is the only girl in the main cast in a committed relationship.
  • In Peter Is the Wolf, we meet Cherry, a Chinese-American Were-Raccoon-Dog (don't you dare call her a Tanuki!) of modest proportions in human form who is inordinately proud of the D-cups she sports in were-form... until she sees the were-forms of Sarah the Werewolf and Ashley the Were-Vixen. Sarah herself, in her human form, isn't exactly big either, though it seems to vary from page to page.
  • In Rascals, Raven, the female mouse character, is often frustrated with her competition's well endowedness as seen in the Hot Springs arc.
    Shiro:Whatever, at least I can finally stop wearing this stupid thing mother made to suppress my chest so you wouldn't feel inadequate.
    Jazzmin: HAHA what?! Show me! [Shiro looks at her with a look of preoccupation] c'mon don't be shu, we're both women [GilliganCut to her hugging and shoving her face into her mother's buxom] Life's not fair…
  • Blossom from Rhapsodies.
  • Ronin Galaxy
    • Taylor on page 55.
    • Though Giancarlo uses her small bust as an insult, Cecil seemed to be at least slightly interested. If only for verification.
  • Ruby from Ruby Quest is flat as a board, "Unfortunately for all parties involved".
  • Although we don't see her angsting over it much, Ellen "Elf" Foxworthy of Schlock Mercenary does get teased early on that when not in her much curvier powered armor, she "doesn't get mistaken for a woman" very much, and apparently joined up with the mercenaries under the pretense of being a boy. Later on, when she gets a full body rebuild, her two main requests are longer legs and bigger boobs.
  • Quinn from Shotgun Shuffle has held a secret grudge against her roommate Ellie for years over this.
  • Camilia, from Slimy Thief, is extremely insecure about her flat chest. She wanted to become a witch solely to use magic to give her bigger breasts and she's devastated when she learns that Aisha, who she considers a love rival, can make her breasts as big as she wants.
  • In Sluggy Freelance, Zoe's first appearance has her wondering if she should get a push-up bra after a rather buxom lass pulls I Have Boobs, You Must Obey! on Riff and Torg. Judging by later appearances, she either got that push-up bra or hit a second puberty.
  • Thinking Too Much to Think Positively: Discussed by Xan in a few comics, as she's not happy with the lack of progress her chest has made on HRT. In "Xanatomy", she labels her breasts with "Work in progress, please check back later".
  • Trans Girl Next Door: In a comic about New Year resolutions, Kylie begs for "bigger tits." Justified, as she's a trans woman who wants to pass more easily.
  • Guy from Two Guys and Guy is not happy about her chest. As she is also a gleefully violent sociopath, mentioning this is a bad idea.
  • Flora from TwoKinds, mostly as compared to other Keidrans(Kat and Natani in particular). Her human lover Trace certainly doesn't seem to mind...
  • A huge part of the backstory of Tara from Welcome to Chastity, who was a D-cup in a town where breasts as big as a girl's head are considered average. This made Tara a flat chested by town's standards which made her a target of bullying from her bustier classmates and unattractive to most guys. Though it turns out she was just a late bloomer and eventually becomes one the bustiest women in town, which turns things around for her considerably. Though it's actually implied that she grew as much because Gwen, her sister Rayya's BF and the witch who cursed the town grew Tara's chest because she wanted to spend time with Rayya herself without Tara butting in.
