To call this story slow moving would be somewhat of an understatement.
It’s been going for about seven weeks now and has had one thing happen and this revelation has taken two of those weeks, assuming this strip is the end of it.
This level of padding can only hurt your viewership.
I’m sorry but is this side story really necessary? Wasn’t there some unresolved fight with Tiffany and a spell singer? Why is it important we focus on this? I’m all for side stories, but couldn’t this be released after the whole issue with the spell singer was resolved? And I gotta be honest, I really don’t care about this story, so some spell singer spelled all the woman to look like her? Is this really necessary to know? And if it is, does it has to be paced so slowly? This whole revelation took weeks to be revealed. Can we please go back to the other story? Please?
But but but… if from that point on every female body conforms more or less to a certain “blueprint” if you will… how do you account for Princess P-Cups? Is she some kind of throwback or mutant?
@Nealend86: Also one of the most backwards solutions ever. She could have composed a song that would adapt her gowns to the body of whoever wore them. It would have been quicker, simpler and led to many satisfied customers. That story should be known as ‘The Song of the Stupid Seamstress”. :/
Also there’s the fact that at least half of the original female bodies depicted weren’t simply “nonstandard,” but actually unhealthy. It’s one thing to be “too short,” “too tall,” or to have breasts that are “too small” or “too large.” It’s another when you have 150-200% more body mass than you should, due to excessive bodyfat reserves. When it leaves you slower, with a reduced strength-to-weight ratio, and with a reduced life expectancy and increased risk of assorted nasty ailments such as heart disease and diabetes… if the intended moral was “it’s wrong to judge people by their appearance,” then the art should have been depicting healthy women who fail to conform to “ideal” standards for height and proportions.
@Archone – You are correct, we should have included more body types. The woman in the black dress was meant to represent this but we should have made those body types the overwhelming number in what we depicted, not the ones with the more dramatic change. Perhaps that is something we can fix in the future.
Archone:- just because someone has a few hundred extra pounds on them, does not automatically mean they are unhealthy, same as those who are ‘thin’, it all comes done to the size of your heart (literally)

Was going to say what Gary said, only worse. So, well done, Gary.
The pacing here just sucks. Even in book form, this would be too slow.

Yeah, what they said. As for the revelation: okay, so the women here in Wetdreamia are all hot babes. Laquelle surprise.
He said this will tie directly in to the current story
This been great, keep up the work. Can’t wait to learn more of the world.
Most long running stories will have slow bits. More so for webcomics.
I look forward to seeing how this connects to the main story.
And I wonder if it affects Princess P-Cups.
I agree. That filler story was too slow. Plus, the true story is on a blatant cliffhanger. I hope the writer did not run out of ideas…
Hmm, is that ‘would’ going to turn out to be significant? It seems significant to me
And to those complaining about a free webic: f!!k off! that is all
Exiern really is rather slow at times. But its relatively consistant, and for a webcomic that can help.
Are they still on Namek?
Hope to get something posted soon that will explain more of the behind-the-scenes of what is going on.
Really just wanted to post saying that I laughed out loud when I read Smacktack’s comment.
News soon!
But but but… if from that point on every female body conforms more or less to a certain “blueprint” if you will… how do you account for Princess P-Cups? Is she some kind of throwback or mutant?
I am guessing this is somehow the origin story of Tiff’s curse.
If this story is even remotely true, this has to be one of the most laziest seamstresses ever.

As someone in the medical profession, I’m going to have to argue that the above statement isn’t true, I’m afraid.
