What is the [airport security guy looking at](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2966/is-radiation-from-the-new-airport-security-scanners-endangering-my-health) inside of the woman in Slug’s drawing this week? ---

I’m not sure, but I feel dirty just looking at it. Seriously, it looks like two cartoonish spherical bombs, one cartoonish cylindrical bomb (the kind that might be dropped from an airplane), and the drum and butt of a Tommy gun. ---

That is what I saw too, once I embiggened the screen size and looked more carefully. At first, it is kinda ‘suggestive’ - no doubt at all :eek: ---

That thing hanging down between her legs is particularly disturbing… whatever it is. I’m hoping it’s not something she’s smuggling up her woo-woo. ---

It’s ART people. Slug’s greatness can not be quantified, merely admired. The things she’s doing are making you feel…dirty? Unclean? That’s his genius. ---

Is it a woman? Or is it a man wearing a dress so that the spherical bombs won’t look so suspicious? ---

Slug? Be suggestive? Heck, he’s not usually “suggestive,” he’s usually overt. ---

I believe Slug was trying to arrange things to cover up her private parts in the picture. ---

[quote=“Gary “Wombat” Robson, post:9, topic:560333”] I believe Slug was trying to arrange things to cover up her private parts in the picture. [/QUOTE] Yeah, but what things? He could have drawn something recognizable, no? ---

It’s a Tommy Gun, a finned bomb and two of those "mad anarchist’ bombs-with-a-fuse, I agree. ---
