I remember kind of actually liking this excuse a bit the first time I read it because I didn't know anything about Power Girl, and the idea that resonated most with me was that anyone part of the Superman family has to feel pressure from the legacy and have a hard time establishing their own identity. Though in terms of that particular struggle, I prefer Supergirl in her angry, rebellious phase (when she was roommates with Captain Boomerang Jr and was too much of a wildcard for even the Outsiders).

But yeah, it did always kinda bug me because, what...why would you leave a big empty space there? How are you going to put a logo there? Just...hope that it fits the hole perfectly? Why would you cut out the fabric? That has to be the least efficient way to leave space ever. No.


Plus, yeah, it is kind of a stupid as heck reason. I prefer the reason of "I'm Power Girl, these are my boobs, I quite like them, and now I will be punching you. Hard."

I like the boob window. It can and has been drawn horribly, but I think Conner established it as fun and sexy. Honestly, it's not even that bizarre of a concept--I see people wearing shirts with a little bit of a cleavage window all the time, and it doesn't look terrible. There is, of course, the point that people get to choose what they wear and characters don't, but Peej is one of those characters that it works for--her attitude isn't one of pure sex appeal (which can make skin-baring costume seem sleazier), but of power and pure confidence. I kind of like that, at least in the Conner/Palmiotti days, her size wasn't just taken for granted the way that most large-breasted comic ladies just happen to be suspiciously well-endowed regardless of who they are, depending on who's drawing them. She had the attitude of a girl who has been large-breasted all her life and who's comfortable with that. I don't really know how to explain it.

Whatever.

I like the boob window.

But yeah, that is a stupid reason.

+1

Except I think you are taking the shape of the boob window and that of any future logo a bit too literally.

I figured that was kinda part of OP's point. It's just a weird statement: "I want to put a logo there, so instead of leaving a place to put a logo, I ripped out a big hole." If you're sailing along the seas of suspension of disbelief, it's fine, but if you stop to think about it, it's like...wait, what? Aren't you cold?
