Escher Girls

Float like a butterfly, Sting like a WTF?

A blog to archive and showcase the prevalence of certain ways women are depicted in illustrated pop media, such as how women are posed, drawn, distorted, and/or sexualized out of context, often in ridiculous ways that sacrifice storytelling.

Please see the "about" section in the sidebar for more details.

April 2024 Caption Contest: The Magna Chesta?

I was looking through old UK gaming magazines with friends trying to source something, and I ran into this cover which... is something. Also I think history class misled me about the Magna Carta.

Hi everybody!

3 panel comic strip ad for "Fear Effect 2" that says "When Girls Come Together" showing a blonde woman and a dark haired woman both wearing skintight black catsuits, in the first panel their faces are next to each other with the caption "A mercenary's guide to a successful job, Step 1: get yourself a partner", in panel 2 the two girls are holding guns with their butts thrust out "Step 2: get hold of some guns... lots of guns", panel 3 says "Step 3: Learn how to deliver those snappy hollywood one-liners"

Girls Get It (Back Pain) Done

They are a canon lesbian couple, so that's good at least. I do like them as characters.

cover of elektra 19 showing Elektra with her arms behind her head holding sai with swords all around her, she has boobsocks in her skintight leotard, her back is bent 90 degrees with her hips thrust back (and she has 0 butt) and one arm looks hyperextended

So, so many questions

She looks like a kite being hit by a strong wind. Also WHAT is happening with her hip/leg/pelvic area.

It looks like she has 2 different legs, one of which is coming out of her crotch? Is she giving birth to a leg?

cover of Hellwitch Forbidden #1 showing Hellwitch (orange skinned brunette demon girl with red horns and red wings) lying on a field with skulls around her, she is in a black bikini top and presumably bottom, both buttcheeks are facing the audience

Hellwitch Triple Crown pose

Hell hath no sexy like a woman in a boobs, butt, and crotch pose. Also her wings look like they're coming out of her hair, although it could be worse.

promo art for Dusk Diver 2 showing 2 anime style girls jumping at each other to fight, one is jumping from the top left to the bottom right, she has long orange hair and is in a black bodysuit with boobsocks and her butt and legs are thrust above her, her back is bent 90 degrees like a centaur for this to happen, the other has yellow hair at the bottom and is wearing a black bikini top with sleeves on top and her legs are behind her

Fighting or Aggressive Massage Pitch

The blonde girl is like "I DON'T WANT TO FIGHT YOU I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU I THINK YOU NEED A BACK ADJUSTMENT AND I KNOW A REALLY GOOD PLACE THAT'LL DO IT ON THE CHEAP!"

ad for Crash Bandicoot re-release on Gameboy Advance, XBox, PS2, and Gamecube, the ad depicts Crash Bandicoot in a giant bed with 4 sexy girls with large busts and tiny waists in lingerie on either side of him with his arms around them, he has a grin on his face, the text says "He's got to have them all! Crash Bandicoot, now available on Nintendo Gamecube!"

Big And Totally Not Fake News

We regret to inform you that starting today, April 1st, Escher Girls will be shutting down and will be soon rebranding with a sponsorship from the Bureau Of Orange Ban

cover of Titans vol. 2 #18 showing Raven hugging her arms and sitting down looking sad, Raven is made in a weird realistic CGI style that looks like it was done in poser and is very stiff, her body has a shiny plastic look to it and her arms don't look like they're hugging herself as much as just posed like it

So many things happening with Raven in this comic

A friend showed me this comic and... it's such a weird mishmash of strange things happening to Raven. First, the cover is very funny with the Poser/Daz3D Raven um... looking sad I guess? Being cold?
