Suggestion: Gender Bender

The current image here is alright, but the text is the only indication it's an example. I wouldn't normally have a problem with this, except that there's tons of examples from other Transformation Comics that actually show the transformation, like the lower half of this El Goonish Shive sketchbook entry.

That works better.

Much better.

Indeed; that's much more illustrative.

More illustrative, less fanservicey. Both marks in its favor.

Sure.

I was going to crop and resize it, but then I noticed the copyright notice at the bottom. What should I do with that?

You could just cut it out and make the image a link to that comic's page, right? I don't think that it's a big deal.

Dunno, took me a while to parse that. Interpreted as two different people. (Lower half especially, they are different heights...)

Either half of the pic would work for me, but I lean toward the bottom half.

I did specify the bottom part in my original post.

At wiki size:

Suggestion is far better than the current picture.

I like that and the look on her face is cute; another vote.

We've definitely got a consensus, so the new pic is up, potholed, and tagged. Caption or no?

"Gender Bender Ray guaranteed to remove chest hair, or your money back!"

that was terrible

Some spin on that concept could work.

The sad thing is, it led me to wonder: If your chest hair and/or...down-there hair is the carpet, and your head hair is the drapes, is a toupee a throw rug?

I like that caption or a shorter variation.

Willbyr: That seems likely. But where's the upholstery?

That's hair implants.

How's this: "Gender Bender 9000! Remove unwanted facial hair! Lose that belly flab! Become more attractive to your friends! Results guaranteed or your money back."

I actually approve of the change, but for the record, that was a pretty rapid discussion period, wasn't it?

A few days? Short, but not too short.

We've had shorter.

Any other ideas on a caption?

"ZAP! Long hair included."?

The suggested picture is pretty clear on the guy turning into a girl. I never really had a problem with the current, but know I realize that the male-turned-female is saying that he turned into a girl and we have to take his/her word for it.

That caption could work.

Do it.
