>>91153075I also just wanna say that even if this was a perfectly executed strip, it would still be weak.
Oh, girl is annoyed/grossed out by a guy getting a dildo! Not even getting into the specifics of her character, it's fucking so trite. Oh, and the guy is embarassed! Although, that is consistent with how I think of Ken. Excepting the buttstuff part, which is new I think.
Willis literally got his request and did the most basic rudimentary strip he could think of. "Asma comic, eh. Well, it's gotta be her delivering a package- heh, package... Oh, that's it!" We get nothing of her character, except that she's mock professional? Like, what if instead, she at least said something like "trust me, you're probably gonna want to spring for the discreet packaging next time" hinting at privacy issues at home. Or have her react more to the size, which is actually funny aspect of the exchange. Or, she could even be completely unfazed because she's seen worse, or because it's the third one this week, or only the second largest one of these she's seen (I know those are also clichés, but I feel like they're less generally cliché than "woman grossed out by man with sex toy")
Or hell, cut all the text and have the thing suction cup to the desk and then have to be heaved off with a funny pop, I dunno. Something other than just dildo -> embarassing, gross. Weirdly enough, the Joyce and Sarah vibe bit, excepting the shitty follow-up, was way better written. Sarah thought Joyce was fucking with her, it turned out there was ignorance, they talked about it like adults, we got some insight into Joyce's (and Willis') sexual shame
(This would've actually been better if it was a transformer that just looks that way when wrapped. And I've been wondering if that's the case, but even then his instant recognition and shame wouldn't really make sense. There's be a moment of "oh, there's my Masterpiecek Hotrod! oh wait, she's judging me, oh wait, it looks like a penis.")
