Maureen Dowd depicted as bikini-clad superhero in racy comic book
2010-12-01
I am not making this up.
Is this Maureen Dowd...
Yes, that Maureen Dowd.
... this Maureen Dowd comic book awesome (superhero journalist!) or offensive (she's, uh, naked)?
No! No! Avert your eyes!
I'm leaning toward awesome.
I'm leaning toward "eeew, ick!" myself.
Benjamin Marra is a professional illustrator. He's even worked for The New York Times, which sort of makes him Mo Dowd's co-worker!
If I drew a comic depicting one of my female co-workers naked, I'd probably end up on the wrong end of a sexual harassment lawsuit.
This means The Incredibly Fantastic Adventures of Maureen Dowd (A Word of Fiction and Satire) will either be a great or terrible conversation piece at the company Christmas party.
...or will put Ben Marra on the wrong end of a sexual harassment lawsuit.

#9  Show us how your tootsie rolls Maureen. eeew. Fully skirted swimsuit bottoms are just to protect not only the wearer but the beholder, as well. Time to bring them back in fashion. And that goes for these twenty somethings that are already fat and wearing micro minis. Listen, nobody wants to see the petticoat junction unless you are an 8 or above.

#8  I just see her as a skank whore with a bad case of clap... but that's my point of view.

#7  I picture her more as Glenn Close with red hair in Fatal Attraction. She's quite the bitter frigid pill.

Ditto on the gun comment for both journalism and ethics.
