* BleachedUnderpants: ''[=XXXenophile=]'', as the name suggests, consists of sci-fi and fantasy themed porn (albeit with a generous helping of [[PornWithPlot plot and humor]]), which may be a surprise to people who discovered ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' first. Though Phil will still cheerfully refer to himself as a "Gentleman Pornographer", the series is on hiatus [[SoMyKidsCanWatch while he and Kaja are raising kids]].

Other career highlights include ''ComicBook/MythAdventures'' (a comic book adaptation of [[Literature/MythAdventures the novels by Robert Asprin]]), and a number of miniseries for Creator/DCComics (including a well-received revival of ''ComicBook/StanleyAndHisMonster'' that managed to make the fluffy whimsical series into part of Franchise/TheDCU ''without'' making it DarkerAndEdgier). He's also done artwork for a number of ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' and ''TabletopGame/{{Munchkin}}'' cards and for Creator/SpiderwebSoftware's ''VideoGame/{{Nethergate}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Avernum}}'' 1-3.

* SexyDimorphism: In ''[=XXXenophile=]'' Martian females are all gorgeous, buxom, four-armed women, and the males are tiny, squat, furry, mostly shapeless (and, incidentally, non-sapient) hexapods with disproportionately large sex organs. This is then given an extra twist at the end of the story. After making "First Contact" with a human explorer, a giant battlesuit bursts into the room — and the Martians assume that the giant robot must be a human female.
