Float like a butterfly, sting like a WTF?A blog to archive and showcase the prevalence of certain ways women are depicted in illustrated pop media, such as how women are posed, drawn, distorted, and/or sexualized out of context, often in ridiculous ways that sacrifice storytelling. contact: eschergirls@gmail.com Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/amiangelwings Please read submitting and commenting guidelines (sidebar) before doing either.

In the post apocalyptic future where bras and underwear have been banned but green cosmetics are plentiful, one woman and her boobs and butt poses will save us...

It's the 11th anniversary of Escher Girls!  (yes, I know the unfortunate anniversary date, it is what it is)  And to celebrate, I want to host a caption contest mostly because we haven't done one in a while and I know the last one kinda disappeared into the ether due to the Tumblr stuff and the site move happening at the same time.

Conveniently, I have a great picture for it, this weird butt fight thing that Purgatori and Chastity are doing (Cover of Purgatori vs. Chastity, Chaos! Comics) which hopefully will lead to some interesting ideas!

I also have a bunch of Steam game codes I've acquired over time and I think they'd make excellent prizes, so it's perfect!  Hopefully enough people want to participate so the contest becomes an interesting one :3

So, the rules are simple, come up with a caption for the cover in this post.  What do you think is going on in the scene?  What are they doing or thinking or saying to each other?

Funniest/cleverest/most interesting caption judged by me will win!  You can enter as many captions as you want.  If there's a lot of entries I may have multiple winners!

Games that could be won include: Beholder 2, Severed Steel, We Were Here Together, Hitman: Codename 47, Overgrowth, Syberia 1&2, Riot: Civil Unrest, and a bunch of others! 

Anyone can enter by sending me a message on Tumblr, commenting on this post, or emailing me at eschergirls@gmail.com! (please put "caption contest submission" in your subject if you do just so it's easy to keep track of).

Good luck to everybody who participates, and a serious big thank you to all of our readers!  It's been 11 very fun years and I can't believe it's still going. :3

<3 Ami

PS: I'm really sorry about never concluding the last caption contest from 3 years ago but with the site move and then the pandemic, it kinda just got lost in the shuffle, and I feel like it's been way too long to get back to. ):  I'm sorry for everybody who participated that I never concluded it, but if people want me to I can go back and choose some winners, esp since I have so many prizes now.  Please let me know if you'd want me to (leave a comment here, or send me a message on Tumblr or email me)

TFW you forgot you scheduled a gunfight at the same time as your ballet recital.

On the plus side, while it's probably a boobs and butt pose hidden by the shadow of the skirt, they didn't just have her butt cheeks hanging out like so many other covers on this blog.  Also, kind of impressive for her foot to be en pointe in boots.

I'm... confused by her legs.  It looks like she's both in a boobs and butt pose but also not at the same time.  I don't think she is?  Or is she?  A true Escher Girl.

PS: I think this one was also submitted a long time ago but got lost in the inbox queue. :\  If you were the one who submitted it and still want to be credited in the post or have your commentary included, please message me!

I like how the other two girls are just doing their own thing, probably like "yeah she's just like that, boobs and butting and posing for nobody... does she think we're in a video game ad or something?"

A boobs and butt Wonder Woman that's not actually Wonder Woman!  It’s a character called AlyXa who featured in a very old post before where she was also described by the comic as:

"For those who concern themselves with such detail, she is a female of some eighteen years, ship time.  By the ancient measures she stands some six feet in height, and displaces some one huntred and twenty pounds."

I guess they didn't know her bra size or they'd have mentioned that too.

Hi everybody!

It's September, so it's time for an update and to thank our awesome August Patreon subscribers!

First, just wanting to remind people that Escher Girls has an RSS feed for you to keep up to date with posts without needing to follow the EG Twitter account.  Also, while I do monitor the EG Twitter account occasionally, it's set up to autopost from Tumblr, so if you want to get in touch with me on Twitter or show me something, my handle is @ami_angelwings and my mentions are always open.

Second, I'm still fixing older broken posts where the media didn't get imported when we moved from Tumblr or the images have been lost due to an external image host going down. For this month I've restored this post involving sexy random bodyparts, this old one from a Wonder Woman annual that will be referenced in an upcoming post, and this great Emma Frost re-design by a reader back in 2013 that I think might interest any who haven't seen it before.

If you find any other broken images or incorrectly formatted posts, please let me know at eschergirls@gmail.com, because I want very much to fix them.

Third, I'm back to working through the inbox backlog, so if you submitted things in the past they will probably start showing up again soon.  I'm really sorry for the delay, it takes a while to work through everything sometimes.

ALSO, our 11th anniversary is coming up in about 2 weeks (Sept. 11, I know I know), and I am planning a caption contest for it with Steam game keys as rewards (i've ended up with a bunch over time) so keep an eye out for that if you want to participate!  It's been a while since we've had a caption contest, I know, so I wanted to restart it and what better time than the anniversary?  So keep an eye this coming Sunday for the contest! 

And now I want to thank all our August 2022 Patreon supporters!

Your support helps us keep the site up and independently hosted, allows us to make technical fixes and improvements to the site, and means that no matter what happens with our cross-posts to Tumblr due to Tumblr's policy changes, the site will continue to exist here on EscherGirls.com!  I really appreciate all your amazing support.

So without further ado a huge THANK YOU to:

With the underboob and everything, I feel like the card name is meant in irony. On the other hand, she's apparently wearing an entire ruffle dress between her legs, so I guess, that's... modest?

It's nowhere near as weird as Idle Huntress' buttbra, but few things are.

Rae submitted:

Can we talk about Erin Esurance's boobs n' butt pose, please? I'm not sure that a broken back is the best imagery to use for an insurance company...

I... don't think that's a boobs and butt pose?  It's hard to tell because there's no detail on her outfit but I think she's just crouching and there's a dent in her body for no reason.

(Ad for Esurance)

My friend was reading through Samuree issues and noticed this part which, as she pointed out, somehow manages to fit in 4 shots of Samuree's butt AND a boobs and butt pose within the space of like a quarter of a page.

That's probably the highest proportion of Escher Girl were square inch we've had on this blog. xD

The fact that there’s not two women in this image disturbs me.

Maybe the wish was granted in two parts and they shipped separately, so she's currently not fully assembled?
