The comic, Bouncing Orbs of Beauty, is definitely NSFW. The pages contain graphic nudity, harcore sex acts, and use profanity. However, the artwork is notable, and the story is interesting. I found the site serindipitously and thought I'd share it.

The comic is arguably pornographic and unarguably sexually explicit.<br /><br />And by sexually explicit I mean graphic visual depictions including both a human penis and a robot penis in the same human vagina (not simultaneously, as of this posting).<br /><br />However, the comic is also cleverly written and very well drawn.<br /><br /><img src="http://jessfink.com/Chester5000XYV/comics/2008-09-01-CS02.jpg" height="55%" /><br /><br />You have been warned.<br /><br />If you don't mind graphic sexual images, <a href="http://jessfink.com/Chester5000XYV">continue to the wonderful comic Chester 5,000, XYV!</a>Jonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02789563856924704583noreply@blogger.com
