Happy birthday, Boing Boing! It's been ten years since Mark posted the first-ever Blogger-powered item to boingboing.net, and it's been a hell of a ride ever since. I literally can't imagine what it would be like to stop blogging today, nor what my life would be like if I hadn't had the chance t... More.
Anything that looks like a miniature, happy Chewbacca just has to be awesome—and sloths do not disappoint. From tooth to poo pellet, the creatures of Order Pilosa, Suborder Folivora are as strange and fascinating as they are adorable.

Once upon a time in the middle of the 20th century, there lived a man named Jack Dutton. He was an average guy- nothing extraordinary about him, except that he owned some fancy parrots and a chimpanzee named Jerry. He and his wife Dorothy were raising Jerry as their baby. Little Jerry slept in a c... More.
It's been a year and a quarter since Microsoft first launched their initiative to "democratize gaming", and nine months since they co-opted the "Indie Game" brand for that initiative, and the report card on those efforts is looking a bit bleak.
So off the radar are those efforts that it might su... More.

I think that it was very progressive for the non-smoking surfer to be so comfortable having two gay friends.
"I never get winded now!"
love it. Smokes were thirty-five cents a pack then, I think they're gone up a bit! Ya' winded hodad!
see, that's really the wrong message to be sending.
the guy quit smoking and used the money he saved to buy a surf board. what he should have done is work harder and make more money so that he could afford both. in any case, once you have the surf board, you can go back to smoking right away - it's not as if you have to keep rebuying the surf board every day. And you'll save some money anyways, since it's really hard to smoke while surfing. Also, the chick - obviously she doesn't smoke. And we all know the old adage, 'if she smokes, she pokes'. That guy is running off with a total tease, guaranteed. Which is just as well, since he doesn't have anything to puff on afterward anyways.
Dang, baby got back!
I'd do well to stop staring longingly at her impossible waist to hip rati--NOT NOW DAD! DON'T YOU EVER KNOCK?!
What's the date on that bad boy? It's cool!
Frazetta has ruined me for "normal" women. Sigh.
He keeps misspelling 'broad'.
That girl has clearly been 'shopped. Was Ralph Lauren involved in any of this? Dude, her pelvis is waaay bigger than her head!
Frazetta's women are always bootilicious (he is to booty, what Russ Meyer is to busty). That may not be everyone's taste, but I wouldn't kick them out of bed!
She has thighs. One of her thighs alone could be an entire Ralph Lauren model.
I love how you can tell which character he spent the most time working on. I bet he spent half of his drawing time on that second frame.
"selectively-blind"?

Looking at the board, not the bird.
@anonymous #9: Haaa ha ha ha!
Everyone here already knows that Frazetta cut his teeth working on Al Capp's "Lil' Abner" strip. Another reliable source of unrealistic women.
No really, Anon9 wins the internet.
Hey, the nonsmoking surfer is pretty godsdamned lickable, too. Those pecs are TDF, though he doesn't appear to have any nipples. Frazetta clearly knew how to draw juicy boys, too.
There's a Frazetta documentary, a few years old, where (and I'm surely paraphrasing) in response to a question, Mr. Frazetta seemingly obliviously asks, "All my women don't have big butts. . .do they?"
Frazetta's women don't have big butts; they have butts. And life-bearing hips. And thighs.
Can't believe anybody is going nuts over Frazetta's women. None of them would 'make it' as a 'model' because they are too "Fat". Real life "Models" make me think the stories that all male fashion designers are gay (even if married and have kids) and they make women thin as 14 year old runaway boys just off the bus.
I like this ad for this reason:
Fraz is "Old School" in a way I relate to, and don't hate or consider it "FlahgandBibble Beaten" fake "Old School"
He showed, without being preachy, it's a "Trade-off" in life. What you want, what you work for, what you need, what you enjoy. He made the simplest argument to stop smoking; "Besides the possible health dangers, it is deceptively VERY expensive and wouldn't you rather have money versus wasting it on an addiction?" And to others talking about this, well if they worked 'harder' for more money, that means they'd work LONGER and have little or no time for surfing during the day.
I can't wait to call somebody a "boardless hodad".
And MrsBug is absolutely correct.
Now, smoking 20 cigarettes a day will cost you $2,098.75. And that's just an average Camel Light price. Nat Shermans will cost you $2,901.75
Frazetta's women don't have big butts; they have butts. And life-bearing hips. And thighs.
I also appreciate the way he lovingly depicted those dimples of venus...
"mean hunk of wood" huhuhuhuuuuhuhuuhuhuhuhuhu
Yeah, but what self-respecting heterosexual boarding fanatic would refuse to spend time with a beautiful woman who loves boarding? I have never been able to buy into the idea that spending time with an attractive, friendly member of the opposite sex (or one's preferred sex) who -- as an added bonus -- is interested in the same thing as you, is a problem.
In Painting With Fire, FF discusses and happily embraces his love for women (real and drawn) with "big asses".
And I love him for it.

While I agree with much of the rest of your comment, the implication of this part (that gay men are all predatory ephebophiles) is reprehensible, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
