22. AUDREY HEPBURN: Sex appeal
March 9th, 2012
Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) was a film and fashion icon famous for her roles in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, My Fair Lady and Sabrina. She was the epitome of grace, class, style and sex appeal – my kind of woman! Today’s generation of nipped and tucked, bo-toxed, bleached, fake-tanned and fake-boobed Hollywood starlets don’t come close to Ms Hepburn. After growing up in war-ravaged Europe, Hepburn witnessed first-hand the life-saving efforts of relief organisations and dedicated the latter-part of her life to UNICEF and helping the starving children of Ethiopia, the Sudan, South America and Somalia. What a gal.

If only this was the standard today…
That’s why I try to boycott girls who are trying to become pretty birds in cages.
Wow, you’ve described that phenomenon very well. I must try to remember this analogy.
I’m stealing that if you don’t mind.
I seriously doubt you would go for ugly girls, even if they have poise.
Now that is just ugly.
beautiful Ms. Hepburn !
oh, and that line too :
– there’s no “impossible”, since the word itself says “i’m possible” –
cmiiw, that is also Audrey Hepburn’s quote, eh ?
What an amazing woman! This is a wonderful quote.
An ideal woman for Women’s Day!
This one’s got some crazy atmosphere going Gav- I can hear the saxaphone playing over this scene. You are amazing
Thanks – yeah i was going for a smoky, jazzy, vintage European look
I agree Gav, you are the man
Hey, man, love your work! I’d like to help you by providing translations to Portuguese. Now, I don’t have a website or a clue about webdesign and I can’t draw for the life of me, so how would we go about that?
I’ve got no idea Lucas … any readers out there that can help??
you could send Lucas the original text then he’ll reply with the translated text and from there just change the text from your strip thru photoshop or indesign –that’s what you’re using yeah?
Yeah that could work thanks
You could just make a translated Portuguese version of the same strip and hyperlink it next to this strip in the page. It wouldn’t involve too much effort beyond the addition of the translated text on each panel.
Spoken like a true good looking woman. An ugly one couldn’t get away with it.
YUP.
wow…can’t believe i missed reading this on women’s day. awesome as always!
can i have your permission to print this on my own? id like to give this to my wife complete with credits to you of course….and her name is Audrey too
sure, quality won’t be very good though – hi-res prints coming soon!
yeeey! thanks mate! btw, ZGOBZ is still me…i just love interchanging the letters in my name sometimes…hehe
I know this is supposed to be inspiring but it came from the gorgeous and sexy Audrey H. Thus, in my head I’m going “Easy for you to say…”
True, Audrey…but you’re also Audrey Hepburn! You could make ANYTHING sexy
Lovely pic, but where’s the cat?
I thought of the end of Breakfast at Tiffany’s when I saw this as well!
I agree with your sentiments to a point. But I believe that a person is as beautiful as they see themselves. If today’s Hollywood celebrities love their bodies however they are, then I can love them too.
The way women look now, everything plastic and surgically enhanced, is because of labels and someone telling us that we have to look one certain way or we are worthless. And that’s not okay, to tell anyone that they are worthless or ugly.
Humans are too diverse and naturally amazing for that to be true.
I love to pin your quotes! Just a request from a lazy fan: is there any way to add automatically the text quote whenever a visitor shares the cartoon? It wouldn’t work well in Twitter but in Facebook and Pinterest that feature would rock!
It just sucked that she smoked, that’s a big turn off!
