Now I'm not going to lie. I'm not a fan of inflation. I got no problem with people drawing robust, rotund, chubby, heavy, or fat characters (though doing fanart of known characters and MAKING them fat is a bit much) its this whole, blowing up women with air or feeding/force feeding them until they're impossibly morbidly obese and to the fans of inflation this is sexy and the images are clearly little more than titilating (to the fans) pin-ups and fap material. And also once morbidly obese (or blown up like a balloon) these women seem to have no trouble moving, or breathing, or living and seem perfectly happy to be in this state.

Most of what I see seems, to me, rather degrading to women and is as much objectification as drawing the scantily clad super-thin chicks inflation aficionados claim to hate.

But hey. People have a right to draw it. They have just as much right to draw inflation as people have a right to draw barely clothed women with giant balloon breasts that magically defy gravity and impossibly curved backs with their butts jutting out </Rob Liefeld>.

Just as I have as much a right to draw comic satire about things I see around me.

And frankly, all I'm doing is showing what a 600 - 800 pound person would REALLY be like (and remember the girl here's a chibi). I'm not making fun of "fat people". An overweight person is in the realm of 200 pounds. They can still walk and be healthy. 600 pounds is just neglect of the self. If someone manages to do that much damage to themselves they've really hit rock bottom. No one who's 600 pounds would be 600 pounds and happy. No one who's 600 pounds would be 600 pounds out of a mere zealous love of food.

So someone tell me. How is inflation any different than the skinny skank mainstream it professes to be rebelling against? In both women are conformed to what would generally be called an "unattainable image of beauty".


Right. Now off my rant and on to the technical stuff.
As you can tell this was a lazy-made comic, it really wasn't worth my time to ink a full-blown traditional one. I did the images all seperate in india ink on bristol board, then I did the layout and put the panels together in Photoshop 6.0. I also did the screentones and text and word ballons and speedlines digitally.

P.S A MESSAGE FROM THE PAST TO THE FUTURE FOR PEOPLE STILL COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS YEARS LATER: I don't care if you think WG and inflation are different, from the outside looking in they both have the same goal: making someone really really really really really impossibly huge. You are under the same umbrella, deal with it.
