Woops.
Now we have many options; not just female or male. Maybe the artist took this into consideration while drawing the characters. It definitely could be related to the sexuality theme we see throughout this graphic novel (no pun intended). Uh... people accepting themselves, accepting others, changing the way they view themselves (or others. And others. It's kind of late.).
In the sex scenes in the first half of Esther, we never see anything really "naughty looking." I wouldn't call it pornographic by any means. I would, however, argue that the women do all the work, and sex in this context never is depicted as a two-way street. She does things to him while he lays back and enjoys. He never reciprocates the favor, as far as we know.
Maybe the artist is saying that leaders have many opportunities to be lazy. As far as I've seen in human nature, when someone has the power to command others, s/he uses it, and it appears easy to abuse without knowing. Maybe the king's power gets so out of control that it goes from, "You do X while I do Y" (collaborative chores, for example - part-part-whole) to, "You do X and Y [while I sleep]. [Or watch football.] [Or enjoy the benefits of my harem.]"
Thoughts? Am I crazy?
