Men in Suits
Before we get started, wing on over to the main site (www.torcpress.com). We've got a brand new bio in Cast section up for King Smooth. Admittedly, there's not much information on the Spook yet, but I think I did a pretty kickin drawing of the guy, and Shafe's coloring job was top notch, so check it out. On with the Rant.
I don't trust Men in Suits. I know it sounds ridiculous, but bear with me. Suits may look good, but they are extremely uncomfortable. The only people who wear Suits are people who are so obsessed with their status that they'd wear something so freakin uncomfortable on a regular basis. People who are obsessed with status are inherently materialistic, if not downright greedy people. Greedy people aren't to be trusted, cause most of em would just assume sell someone down the river than deal with people honestly. Did that make sense? It's 6am, and I'm having trouble getting my ideas out properly.
(Now, this leads to a number of arguments, such as, what about Women in Suits, or what about Preachers? Well, on the Women front, I'm too busy being attracted to care, and as for Preachers, I've been a Southern Baptist my entire life, so the one thing I know for sure is that you never trust a Preacher regardless of what he's wearing...)
The point of all of this is that this ridiculous bias can be seen in my artwork. Many of the "villians" in my comics wear suits, including most of the Ortex characters, the CellPhoneMen from Broken Tea Cup, and the Little Old Hag's bodyguards from the first King Smooth story. Waitaminute... King Smooth is wearing a suit, and he's a "good guy" right? Hmmm.... Am I going against my own bias, or am I hinting that the mysterious Mr. Smooth is a little bit more sinister than I'm letting on...

Good topic of discussion. I brought it up here at the hospital, cause surprisingly most of the dudes I work with on my new campus are a lot like me....t-shirt and jeans dudes with a closet stocked full of "get me a good job" clothes.
Here's our consensus. Hack away as needed.
Wool suits suck. If you can't afford a good suit, don't buy one, cause it's uncomfortable. Much like cars, drop 4 times more for the base model on a suit, and you get something that breathes, fits your body nicely, and in some instances are as comfortable as pajamas. I tried on a 4g suit that felt like I's just wearing my underwear....and you know what kind of a nudest I am.
Now, we're just debunking the fact that suits are uncomfortable. Cheap suits are. Well made pricey suits, not.
This disclaimer in no way touches on the fact that Suits can't be trusted, Women look hot in suits, specially with the top two buttons undone, and Preachers like it when you "tithe".
