Oh, Comics Internet.

A comment from a recent Newsarama thread about artist Dale Eaglesham’s rendition of the Fantastic Four:

I have a real issue with his portrayal of Reed. He’s always been fit, sure, but here Reed looks like a leather daddy in a gay porno. For real. The scruff, the bulging biceps, the much bulkier frame — I don’t understand why.

Here is Eaglesham’s Reed Richards:

If the commenter had just said “Since when did Reed forget to shave and get so muscular?” that would have been one thing. But “here Reed looks like a leather daddy in a gay porno. For real”? Someone clearly wants to share something about their personal viewing habits.

For those of you that, like me, wonders exactly what a leather daddy in a gay porno looks like, here’s the first result Google Image Search gave me:

Actually, worryingly, I can see a similarity (It’s the arms). But this guy has (a) less stubble – Seriously, Reed, work on that – and (b) an outfit that is missing the pre-requisite “4″ in the middle of his chest. Therefore, we can only assume that the comparison fails. Better luck next time, internet commenter!
