Male Gaze / Webcomics

---

• Addressed in this strip of Cinema Bums in reference to the portrayal of Catwoman in Batman: Arkham City.
• Discussed in the context of Satan playing video games in this strip of Dinosaur Comics.
• Shown in this Loserz strip.
• Several cases of Male Gaze occur in Misfile, for example here. Notable because the breast focus is from Ash's perspective, who is the result of a male-to-female Gender Bender, while still keeping the male mind.
• Sluggy Freelance:
  • Pete likes to draw Oasis doing gymnastic moves that highlight her figure as a whole. She also seems to get more chest/butt closeups than anyone else during the big "Dangerous Days Ahead" battle. Like, for example, this strip.
  • Parodied later in the series when Sasha dresses up as the supervillainess Monicruel. While another female supervillain can see through the Paper-Thin Disguise, none of the male supervilains can because all they noticed about Monicruel's appearance was that she had big boobs and wore a monocle. Long as Sasha's got those, they can't tell the two women apart, even when they're right next to each other, having a catfight.
    P-man-4: Boobs and monocle! That's her!
    Supervillainess: It's a different face! And totally different hairstyle!
    Gennaro: She had hair?
• Ronin Galaxy: During the beginning chapter two conflict, Leona’s breasts manage to make it into every frame of every. Single. Page.
• There is a huge amount of buttocks shots in Better Days. This was lampshaded fairly early on.
• Silent Hill: Promise The comic often gives a nice view of Vanessa's large chest or butt. Additionally, her character portrait is never shown wearing the heavy jacket she always has on.
• Ciem Webcomic Series. Candi gets naked a lot more than anyone else.
• Page 192 of Las Lindas has Miles give Sarah's feminine curves a lingering gaze when he finds out shes turning 18. He quickly learns not to do it again.
• Parodied in Hark! A Vagrant. The Strong Female Characters are horrible people in outrageously Stripperific outfits and poses who insist that because they can inflict random violence on men that "sexism is over." Sexy Batman is just Batman done like a stereotypical female comic book character, making cartoonishly seductive comments towards Catwoman, using Fanservice and constantly posed to show his butt. It's stupid, the implication being that it looks just as stupid when done to girl characters.
• Illustrated by Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, along with Female Gaze, here.
• While not overt in Surprising Octeal, the comic seems to pay a lot of attention to Suzanne's backside.
• Issue #0.1 of Unit-M is very guilty of this. Subverted in Issue #0.2 when the gaze is dropped as Shield is harassed over her appearance.
• In El Goonish Shive, several forms have been designed by Tedd with this in mind mostly by having huge breasts.
• In Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff, Hella Jeff takes the opportunity to stare at Sweet Bro's mother's ass twice.
  Hella Jeff: dufe, are you SCOPING this bipches CHOICE ASS..
