Folks on a comics forum I occasionally check out were discussing anthologies that have open submissions policies and someone had linked to Heavy Metal magazine’s submissions page. I figured I’d check it out just for fun, despite the fact that absolutely nothing I do would work stylistically in Heavy Metal. Is it just me, or is there a strange disconnect between one of the items in their submission policy and the ad being served up in the top left corner?

Maybe it’s not considered bondage because she’s not having sex?
“She’s just a scantily clad prisoner, officer. She just dresses like that.”

You know, I think you’re right! I somehow mistook that black leather Chinese finger trap she’s playing with for handcuffs.

And, I dunno… it seems like maybe they could be having sex in that picture. She’s maybe just not that “into it” based on her expression.
Well, you should have seen the cover they *wanted* to do! It wasn’t a glove, believe me.
