The END is near!
by luke
It has come to our attention that a specific area of Skadi’s anatomy has been receiving a disproportionate amount of attention. We wish to save the integrity of this comic, and redirect the audience’s focus away from Skadi’s buttocks, and on to the more mature aspects of the storyline. Thus, it has been decided by the powers that be… from this point on, Skadi’s “hind-end” will be henceforth and hereafter REMOVED! (as seen in the comic above)
Of course, a humble showing gratitude for the Barbarian Behind in the comments section will perhaps spark Skadi’s powerful regenerative properties into action. But that’s a big MAYBE….we’re VERY serious about this.

Integrity?
Is that the quality sought in this recent decision? Is the desire for “integrity” the motivation for a drastic image makeover; a thinly justified change in direction; a poorly-navigated kowtow to the least common denominator?
Is integrity to be found in this, the most recent in a long string of incidents wherein an artist, fearing retribution and seeking mass acceptance, changes the vision to reduce possible offense? Questionable: for this phenomenon is the defining scenario of the history of the comic. From its inception, comics have been scapegoated, looked down-upon, and reviled as being a low art, a vehicle for obscenity, and a detriment to the intellectual progress of a society. The storied tradition of the comic artist is one of fear and disrespect, of dues snatched away and creations torn down. Integrity. What integrity is there in furthering a system that demonizes the female form and figure, refuses to accept a strong, independent female character in touch with her femininity, and stagnates in a draconian status quo?
Integrity in art is the act of maintaining a purity of vision, of letting no outside forces inhibit your art. As no man is an island, no artist is truly in touch with his or her self unless he or she is in touch with the world, affected by the audience, the recipients of her art. But when fear and an ignorant conformity limit and circumscribe the artist in censorship, then the cheap success of protecting dated values in turn cheapens that beautiful vaunted virtue: Integrity.
Integrity is to be found in taking chances, exploring new vistas, and pushing forward. Comics history has been one where integrity has fallen by the wayside in favour of submissive appeasement. Today, that can change. With the return of Skadi’s rump, a bold new statement can be sent: We are not afraid of our art. We are not afraid of ourselves. We are proud of what we are, what we feel, what we create. We are proud of Skadi, and of her fine, culturally important ass.

But the booty makes the comic beauty taking away the ass is like taking away the class.
So I hence forth say yes to the regeneration butt powers.

That’s just… Silly.
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:44 am
I say yes to the ass, the ass must endure.

Maybe the integrity of your work means doing whatever you want with our starring lady´s buttocks. Go on with whatever you want to, you are doing a really good comic. If you want my opinion, Skadi´s rear end is absolutely fine.

Butt the End Justifies the Means!

I always figured Skadi’s ample rear was a source of power, like Samson’s hair. I’d love to see a Happy End to this story.
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:57 am
im left wondering why she didnt turn around and bite it right back.and if its got its own list that it just checked an entry off of…
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:47 am
for shame… it was one of my favorite parts of the strip…

If Porky Pig can show his nether regions, then why can’t a cartoon girl who’s drawn by a girl?
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:45 am
Did someone complain?
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:14 pm
OH NO how will she poop!?
September 3rd, 2008 at 12:23 pm
What a cheap ploy for comments, guys! Of COURSE we all love Skadi’s barbarian behind. It was her sensually-drawn rear, combined with that hilarious face, that made me click on an ad banner and discover this comic. I think it adds… balance to her otherwise very cartoony and noodley anatomy — the noodle arms, the gigantic head, the cartoon hair. She’s actually more of a realistically-drawn female, with her powerful legs and bottom-heavy body, than many a cartoon dame. I’m very happy that the artists did not go for a “hourglass” look and give her huge boobs as well. Because huge boobs get in the way of killing things with swords and axes and stuff and also give a girl back pain.
Plus that barbarian underwear thing she wears is hoooooooooooottttt.

Please don’t take away Skadi’s most righteous behind. It doth shineth like the sun through the murky clouds of life. Oh and your drawings are so incredibly awesome.
September 3rd, 2008 at 4:16 pm
one word:
BUHHHCHEEEEEKS
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:43 pm
If Skadi didn’t have her buttocks, then how would she stay on the ground?
September 4th, 2008 at 4:19 am
I love Skadi! Don’t break her, please!
September 4th, 2008 at 4:52 am
SHE’S A CARTOON, HER END WILL GROW BACK (GET IT? GET IT? GET IT? HAR! HAR! DE-HAR!)
I must say, I hope that’s not the end of SKADI (OH, I do amuse myself. Pity)
Apparently, someone got carried away tossing the salad - oh, yikes!
September 4th, 2008 at 7:39 am
Skadi’s rear end will disappear??
But… But… BUTT! BUTT!
It’s like cutting Bug’s ears off!
What is this? Are you guys looking Nickelodeon approval or something? This is TEH INTARWEBS!
September 4th, 2008 at 9:49 am
cybernetic replacement.
September 5th, 2008 at 3:54 am
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All her ass-ets must remain ass they arse!
September 6th, 2008 at 5:15 am
I don’t see anything wrong with it. She hasn’t pooted once! Though when the wood elf/gnome got accidentally rear-ended, I guess his ghost could have been a gas cloud??? But he had no regreats, so it wasn’t ALL bad…
Leave her booty alone!
September 7th, 2008 at 9:43 am
Alas bring back that marvolous ass!
