Beth's Pregnant

Yes, you did.
I mean ok… we doing this?
Never thought id see the day.
You're right in that monologing wouldn't have been a good idea, and I can definitely see where Beth was coming off jaded, but why feels less obvious to me. I know that part of my fixation on the IUD was because it's what was led with. That, and I guess from what I've read, I never saw her love of toys as something that reflected her emotional disconnect. I never saw it as a replacement for intimacy. I always saw it as something she did regardless of relationship status. Her dry spell shown in puss in boots seemed to end when she gained confidence. If she's had more dry spells, it hasn't seemed that way. Even with her Onatomy short, it seemed more that she was relating her familiarity with and love of her own body more than showing a character issue. That's just what I saw though.
I agree with all of that, and I do realize that her character will grow and evolve. That's to be expected. However, she didn't need to stop her birth control until she started showing signs of menopause. Her line of, "they don't last forever" is inaccurate. She could have gotten it replaced when she got the last one removed. That was the move that felt purely for plot convenience. Everything else was very on par for her. From that moment on it was obvious where the story was going. I couldn't figure out the motive for that other than pushing her toward pregnancy for the story. I know it won't matter to the bulk of your audience, but it's something that stood out like a sore thumb. Trixie believing that line was on par for her. She's the sort of ditz I would expect that logic from.
Beth was expressing the sardonic and jaded attitude that she's not going to have the opportunities anymore and so she's not concerned with it. It's the path of regression back to where she was when she first appeared: disregarding connections to others and using toys for satisfaction.
Bummer. Considering you do plenty of pregnancy stuff, and the way the comic started, this was the obvious ending, but single mom/milf Beth is a bummer as far as character development. Obviously it works as fan service. I liked her living her unconventional, independent lifestyle. I liked that she was living a traditionally masculine lifestyle as a woman. She was a strong, intelligent female character, and this arc showed her making a continuing series of obvious mistakes someone half her age would, for no other reason than to get knocked up. *shrugs* I love your work, but this would probably be my least liked arcs. Feels very off character for her, but on brand for your comics, so it is what it is. I'm clearly in the minority with this opinion.
She's always been depicted as someone who is both sexually compulsive and also who has used people for sex. My intention is not for her to be "strong independent woman", but to be a woman who has issues and wraps them up in a jaded veneer, coping with her inability to find fulfillment. That's far more interesting and poignant to me. Character's like Beth are sometimes archetypes, but often they become arcs. She's on one. And she will evolve. I thought about it, and there's a question that she will face in a conversation with her sister in the future. It's not about whether she doesn't make mistakes, or whether she wants a baby or not. It's about what she will be in 10 years: The same woman, just ten years older, chasing the same things, trying to hope for the same kinds of things, and finding it much harder as age sets in. Or something more, an acquired level of new responsibility and a legacy beyond just her art and a memory in the minds of her lovers. She will change. She will grow.
Beth, I believe you already have "fucked that guy". LOL
Beth looks very sexy.
I agree with one of the dudes above me. A One shot of her finding out would be awesome
Sigh... Knew it, just hated to call it. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with Beth getting pregnant, it was bound to happen eventually as much as she did it(giggles), it's nice to see and I wish her the best of luck being a mom now. But from that asshole?(sigh) Beth said it perfectly, "Fuck that guy!" She's better off without him, maybe she'll get lucky and find a man now who will take care of her and her kid(s). So I guess this is the end of Beth-gasms and her enjoying single life(sort of), but look forward to seeing her future, hope it's a good one, she's been through so much, having followed her stories all these years since "Better Days", she's my fav out of all your characters. Please do her justice Jay!
Which comic was this?
Any chance of a one-shot with Beth finding out the news on the stick?
Maybe.
noooooo
Beautiful 😻
Ummm..yeah. You kinda already did, Beth. ;) You do look beautiful.
Do you plan for any story's in her time of being pregnant and after that. Would be amazing to see something from her life during that. Even if it are only short story's with 3-5 pages each. Just as an idea ^^
Nothing precisely planned right now. Just general ideas.
Called it. Looking forward to Beth's offspring in the future.
Well ... she allready did, didn`t she? Beth as a mother is a interessting idea.
I hope we get to see some pregnant sex with her in the future.
Wow Jay, your art never ceases to amaze me 😍
Going affair that him?
You did though, Beth. More than once. Lol. You're beautiful though.
Absolutely stunning, wow! Beautiful work!
I kinda think that's how you got into that predicament...
I'm sorry Beth but, I believe you've already done that.
After years and years we are finally approaching MILF Beth time, let’s goooooo
I love this
Going to be interesting to watch l, especially if there will be a comic of Beth being Pregnant while she and Trixie hang out together.
Beth's Beautiful Baby Bump 💞
Funny is triplets.
From Force of Nature i kinda expected her to get pregnant but i wasn't thinking it would happen so fast. The hints were also very distinct XD
This may be an entirely selfish request, but it sure would be great to see her in some sex scenes while pregnant. That would definitely be new territory to explore!
haha yea that would be interesting to see but i think she would have enough will power to resist sex while pregnant.
Heh Beth, I think it’s your fault, you seemed to really like him to cum in you. I always hoped that would happen.
An amazing beautifull image! I'm just curious if this is just one kitten or maybe even two? ^^
Holy shit! I mean it was kinda obvious this was going to happen at some point. I think she is going to struggle (alot). But I also think she is going to be a wonderful mother who will love her child dearly.
It's gonna be interesting to see her have to settle down and actually be land locked she can't exactly live at sea Anymore
Beautiful!
This still feels like a weird direction to me, but she's still attractive anyway.
You did, and look what happened.
Love it.
Looks like you already did. *rimshot*
Can’t wait to see how beautiful that kitty is as both it’s parents are beautiful. Wonder how Trixie and Aron reacted to this
I gotta admit this was a bit of a shock for me. But holy shit pregnant Beth is hot as fuck ngl.
I think pregnant Beth is interesting. she was always in a way moving and running and now that she's pregnant would be interested to see how she develops as a character and a mother. would still like to see maybe her MILF side now lol
Absolutely this. Would be fun to see how it would change her!
Oh snap
Whhhaaat?
She'd do it again in a heart beat.
pregnant Beth <3
Oh...so that how babby formed
😍
NGL, would ruin Beth as a character for me.
What was it that you liked about her?
Always use a rubber guys....unless you like the risk
I mean, you did that. A few times. Wonder what Trixie has to say about this. XD
If he makes this a story, I’m excited to see how that would play out.
Honestly I'm hoping he does one anyway.
Wonder how big her litter will be
I'm guessing 5 based on the last panel of page 39.
You had me at Beth.
Too late
Ya kinda already did, Beth...
Yes you did.....
This will be interesting.
So much hair!
Damnit ty
