More about Charlotte

First, I'm gratified by the response that my newest creation has garnered. Very few of you seem to think I've "gone too far" with Charlotte (and one commenter even opined that going too far is "what makes it such a great idea!")

So what I want to do here is collect and expand on some of the thoughts and ideas I've shared in replies to comments on the various artworks. Some of these might be incorporated into the series, or not.

Some of you have noted a resemblance between Charlotte and my previous "newest" character, Scarlett, in that both have extremely curly hair and slender physiques with anomalously large biceps. (If Scarlett and Charlotte are sisters, then it looks as though Scarlett got screwed when it comes to bust size )

And others think that Charlotte and Dr. Sonya Gannon could be sisters, with Charlotte being the little sister - well, "little" in terms of "younger" (Charlotte possibly two to five years younger) and/or "shorter in height" (three inches, maybe); but trust me, in bust size Sonya is the "little" sister by about, oh, say, five cup sizes?

I even gave some thought to making Sonya and Charlotte sisters, and having Charlotte make occasional appearances in Tetsuko. If so, then Charlotte would be a porn an adult entertainment star: a "featured dancer" at the country's top "gentlemen's clubs", a top model for photo shoots for magazines and websites, etc. And one of her latest projects is a new series of "photonovels" (comics that use photos instead of drawings) in which she plays a superheroine who fights crime in the nude... 

On the "Pendulum Peril!" pages, there were more than a couple of comments to the effect of: if she's invulnerable to bullets, how could she be harmed by the razor-edged pendulum? To be honest, that was a matter of me wanting to have it both ways: wanting her to be able to bounce bullets off her breasts (with the accompanying "concussive deformations"), yet be able to be harmed by (and thus terrified by) the pendulum blade. So I'm positing that she possesses these (arbitrary, to be sure) vulnerabilities: to sharp-edged weapons, like swords and knives; to prolonged exposure to extremely high heat (so that she can survive the momentary heat of an explosion, but not a collapsing firetrap), and very high voltage electricity (which makes a story like this possible.)

And since I figure that any explanation of her weird vulnerabilities would be wildly improbable (even in a comic about a naked superheroine), I'm not even going to try; instead invoking the "MST3K mantra": "Just repeat to yourself 'it's just a show [or comic, as the case may be], I should really just relax'."
