Morgalla in pink? There's a first time for everything

I've said it once, I'll say it twice. Morgalla needs to get a wardrobe. The kind of wardrobe that doesn't consist of random Republican slogans and the odd attempt at looking like Jon actually cares about shit.


Now, usually you'd applaud an author for taking active interest in a charity, especially one as big as 'Breast Cancer Research' but the reason I'm not giving Jon his props is because it feels so forced. Jon chose the most typically female charity he could - one with a pink symbol and everything - to try and show his support for women. Note how this is about as feminine as Jon will ever allow Morgalla to look and how the slogan he's chosen is still pretty typical of his muscle bound fantasy women.

Not to mention many feminist groups have issues with the campaign. The symbol was stolen and changed colour when the women who first used it refused to have her symbol used by the charity. The campaign then went and sexualised the disease by making it based around 'save the boobies' and 'save second base' rather than 'save the women attached to the boobs because for fuck sake they're actually the important thing here'.

So Jon, you still haven't won over the feminists yet.

I don't really know why Jon has chosen to support this charity/campaign but he seems to do work for it pretty regularly.


Here's another chance for you to ask me 'But Toxic, surely this time you're just gripping about a man with good-intentions? It's a charity for Christ sake.' I hear you friends, I hear you.

But it's all just too typical. Supporting the biggest female-orientated charity known to the western world, which even has a conveniently  feminine public image. It's too obvious that Jon ran for the first charity that benefited women that he saw, just to say he cared. How much money do you think he actually donates to them? He's never mentioned. He only ever draws.


What's even better about these pictures is that on DA they have links that go to Jon's Amazon and Create space.  Yeah, because it's not like actually fucking linking to the charity or mentioning why you support the charity would make more sense in place of advertising yourself.

PRIORITIES JON, PRIORITIES!

  1. Is it just me or does it look like his artwork has become worse? I mean his earlier artwork of Morgalla was bad but at least had some kind of edge-look to it that made it somewhat appealing. This shit right here is just ugly. And WTF is up with Jasper's face?
