There were speculations by readers, but nothing in the comic itself. And note that the exact words were “You are I both are about at the limit to what can be supported here” which was followed by “Look on the bright side: you'll probably live comfortably and be free to grow and grow to your heart content” which kind of implies that limitations are related to that particular place (size of building? elevator capacities? who knows…) and not to the method of growth used to achieve that size…

I love this, beautiful drawing and fascinating story. Q: has there ever been any discussion of how Than got that enormous herself? She did say that she was about as big as she could get and still be supported at that site, implying she could increase herself if she wanted to, but no indication of how she initiates growth. Just curious. thanks

I'm pretty sure that there will NO such escape attempt. Ysabel have talked about “mad dash like last time”, true, but don't forget that she said “makes me wonder how quick are you anymore” on the very same page. If post-Oz Alexis tried to escape using “mad dash” Ysabel would know “how quick Alexis is anymore” already. And we've seen one such “mad dash escape attempt” on pages 9-10, thus I have no idea where you've gotten the idea that there was another escape attempt.

Yeah it seems like a lot to wager in such a close size comparison. I forgot that Than is running a business and wants Alexis to get as big as possible to be sold off to the highest bidder or whatnot. It sounds like we are also in for when Alexis tried to escape, since Ysabel says that she tried to get away once before.

Than said quite explicitly on page 73 of the LBSM that she was ordered to “encourage” Alexis' growth “the best they could”. First attempt (with patches presented by Ysabel) failed—Miriam have used them instead. Second attempt almost failed since That was “a bit heavy-handed”, but Alexis saved it. Now Than only need to win that contest (or at least should make sure Alexis will not win it) and everything will be just peachy. Just why she's so sure that she'll win anyway is a big mystery, though.

Miriam said to Alexis once that “she's like a little kid” ( <a href="http://goo.gl/TxBE7d" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/TxBE7d</a> ) but in reality Miriam herself is a little girl in a body of a fully grown up (and then some) woman. She has potentially sexy body, that's true, but she just does not know how to use it for the full effect. Annable does.

What is Than's plan here? Did she want Alexis to grow just because she gets off on that sort of thing? Or is it because she wants, for some reason, to have some real competition at the the t shirt contest?

Did you just say that Miriam is not sexy??? I am unable to call a thing with boobs that big not sexy...

Son of a bitch, it was a ploy. Also, we know that her little drug induced dream took a few days. Which probably means 3 most likely.

Yup. One could say that monstrous breasts just hinder them and make it impossible to participare in sexy shenanigans as active participant, but while it could be a problem for Alexis or Than it does not explain all the other characters. E.g. at the end of third chapter of LBSM Miriam is huge but portrayed as quite agile yet she's not sexy. Funny yes, sexy no.

Kay started out at the same size as Annabel,and they even have some of the same features,notably the big,full lips.

I don't really like her stare.She has a cocky,disdainful demeanor,which is too bad since she is definitely beautiful.

When I first read this I thought Annabell was referring to Hannibal Lechter! XD

Same with Kay in a way. She's the smallest bust-wise of her friends now (though she was bigger than Miriam to start with), but she's probably my second favorite character.

Well, Annabel is sensuousness incarnate, Ms. Fanservice of the comic.
Which is kind of funny if you'll recall that she's one of “smaller” girls.

God, that stare Annabel has is so damn sensual.

Wow so it took three days for Alexis to grow that much! Love that Than is totally like getting off on watching Alexis' boobs grow.

I almost didn't recognize Than with her hair up like that. Almost thought there was another massive breasted character behind the scenes for a second.

Finally! Than in not 100% official, buttoned-down outfit. Nice. I may not like her, but I admit that she's one gorgeous woman.
