While I can readily see that a lot of folks here really do enjoy Greg’s portrayal of strip poker, and of course everyone has a right to his/her opinion…. my own opinion is different:
.
I personally do not like this portrayal of strip poker between Toni and Brad as part of “Luann” the comic strip. In my opinion, it is significantly far afield from Greg’s core story telling style. That it is so different may very well be what Greg is going after…. and if so, that is of course his right. I just happen to not like or enjoy it. To me, it is not an appropriate comic to run in actual newspapers. I am wondering if there will be any refusals from any newspapers? Perhaps, perhaps not.
.
Again, I am not a prude. I enjoy sex as much as the next guy. I just tend to feel that this level of sexual expression is better kept private between partners. While technically, Brad and Toni are indeed being private about this within their story arc… portraying this private moment in a public medium seems just a bit too much in my opinion. When I showed the comic to my wife this morning, she was surprised as well about the comic.
