As well as the thumbnails he created to illustrate the concept.Well, this is how it turned out in the published edition, with an editorial guiding hand. None of that rubbing, sucking, thrusting or fondling.

>>152050514>Okay... Well, THAT was certainly something.It's impressive how a single line can make me feel tired.
>>152050514Larsen was never a good writer and having zero editorial oversight for 2 decades on savage dragon only made him even worse. Why anyone would hire him for a writing gig at any point in his career is beyond me.
Lowe specifically wanted him to write this btw
>>152050514Interesting

>>152050514I'd love to hear something good about the state of marvel comics this year, they need a win.
