So this is a long standing question that has plagued comic readers and comic book heroines for decades. Fans, intellectuals, philosophers, feminists...basically everyone has pondered this topic; pondered, argued, discussed, theorized, debated...well,
I HAVE THE ANSWER!!!
How do comic book heroines, who are very often in skimpy costumes, not pop out of their tops when engaged in strenuous, fast paced and extreme action scenes? (Especially Wonder Woman...Wonder Woman is almost always the primary example given...Poor Wonder Woman.)
Well, brace yourself, because here is the definitive answer...These women, especially Wonder Woman, do not fall out of their tops because...
The artists drawing these women don't draw them popping out of their tops!!!
See, they're not real, these women. They're fictitious characters and when discussing practicality in conjunction with characters that can lift mountains...well, that's pretty much the definition of "oxymoron".
Even when put into live action situations these costumes still stay up. We've all watched as Wonder Woman has run, fought, jumped to great heights, sword fought...and not once did she pop out of her costume. Remember that little Lynda Carter series...or even the Adrianne Palicki pilot that's now all over the internet? Clearly the costume can keep Wonder Woman's considerable attributes contained because we've seen it happen.
So an addendum to the "The artists drawing these women don't draw them popping out of their tops!!!" would be; They don't pop out of their tops because...they just don't.
There ya go...ages old mystery solved. Can we move on to something else now?
