Bring her around smartly now!

Fire as you bare!

I would point out that some of the most egregious cover art on the "cartoonish women with ridiculous busoms", err, front are the covers of Esther Friesner's collections of short stories on women in swords and sorcery; Strip Mauled, Chicks 'n' Chained Males, The Chicks in the Mail, and Turn the Other Chick. The stories themselves are almost entirely written by women (there is the token male author here and there) and they can certainly not be categorized as misogynist, women know that nothing sells like bosoms.

(Um, bosoms... You know, I am beginning to like that word more and more. It has such a nice round sound to it.)

Can't argue with you about Ringo though, his Republicanism is way over the top, almost pornographic. Not to mention the other stuff.
