This week and next, the Autostraddle writers and some special guests will be giving you the scoop on over-the-shoulder-boulder-holders and otherwise-inclined chest-covering situations — fashion, history, feelings and so much more. For those of you who consider yourselves to be in this particular demographic, or those of you who know someone who does, you probably already know that a lot of those problems arise from most bras not being built to suit your needs and stores deciding to not carry the few bras that actually do. So often comics will have only white, cis and traditionally attractive characters. Even when people draw a lot of pictures of women of different sizes, they still often all have the same curves, the same hourglass shape. Or if they attempt diversity, they think that means five white characters, a black person and a Latino.

Busty Girl Comics is a series depicting the problems and perks that come with being a woman with a larger chest by Rampaige aka, Paige Halsey Warren. The series has grown popular due to it highlighting an otherwise little-known set of issues but mostly because it is consistently funny. Why did you decide to make Busty Girl Comics? I made the first comic one night after realizing that none of the cute t-shirts I was looking at online would look even remotely the same once I had them on. I posted it on my personal Tumblr and, after getting a warm reception for it, I kept getting ideas for more.
