Midweek Mammaries - Of Mice and Manipulations

Greetings one and all, we're here with a blast to the past - with a reason!

If you have aged like fine wine (or old fish), you may remember when this comic was first released waaaay back around 20 years ago. It was my first fully formed (I use the term loosely) comic and the enjoyment of its creation was one of the key steps into cementing my life journey into boobdom.

Aside from giving the mandatory apology for its crude quality, I have another reason for bringing this ancient comic up - as hinted at in our behind the scenes post, this month's reward is a reimagining of this very story!

I drew it when I was back in uni, scribbling away at a primitive tablet laptop. Ironically it was there that I also met Lady Grove who saw me drawing during class and thought to herself "that's a man who's definitely doing some real art, and not just doodling big titty porn". Bless her heart.

Those uni days have long past, so unlike the Programmed animation, this one is not a direct conversion but rather takes the same ideas but transposes them to a work setting. The lead is has now shifted to Mina whose adorability will hopefully win you over once more (if you check the behind the scenes you can see her image, which I definitely did not just sneakily change the name of).

But enough about the past - time to look to the future! It makes a sort of poetic sense that my first proper comic idea will also be the first animation to utilize our new mocap rig, and I have some neat clips I'm going to share in the next few days as production continues!

Mina looks pretty ripped in the second to last page. Was that intentional? Because I like it.

So, I think it is delightfully sweet, how you and Lady Grove; can recount that once upon a time... Has led to all of this debauchery! lol. It's fantastic! And as for my "lady grove (grows), I tease her that she has, "Biggie, & Smalls!" Haha... Hopefully she will learn to appreciate your work as much as I, cause it always ends the same!! Blessings to the crew, and we look forward to seeing what next you will do! 100

Ah, 'twas fated in the heavens. She was from out of town, and many years before got terribly lost in the city, stumbling upon an ornate bridge far from her destination. Years later I invited her to my birthday, whereupon she once again crossed the same historic bridge from her memories. Taking it as a sign she threw her legs over me, I made the sound of warm and it all felt right. The rest is history. Well, except for the hiccup where she broke up with me a day later.

First time I’ve seen this, unlike some folks. I’ve gotta say, even back then you had a great sense of humor. Love the Twilight Zone pun

omg 20 years ago... i feel old. also kinda forgot this was made by you😅. Fun fact Of Mice and Manipulations was one of my 1st reads after discovering my love for BE. I still remember process productions before it became a forum... i dont even know if it still exists but that was where my descent into various TF kinks began i think. 😂

Why does this story feel familiar like someone else saw it and redid the comic with more polished art and no credit to you as the original creator?

B.E. Grove · August 20, 2026

BustArtist did a very similar concept with his grOw cinema about a decade after this one was made (which is far better in most respects). Don't know if he ever read this one, but "college student gets all powerful" isn't the most original idea so I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a coincidence.
