That reminds me of a page from an illustrated anthology of science fiction and fantasy comics throughout the ages. Specifically one that highlighted the Great Nipple Shortage of 1954. Apparently there was a comic story where a rocket ship from Earth landed on a planet inhabited only by women. Young, glamourous and sexy women.
(How the hell did they reproduce, then? Oh, never mind.
)Anyway, the lucky astronauts were spectators at an Olympic-style competition in a vast stadium. All of the competitors were topless. What should have been the perfect opportunity for the comic artists to show off their drawing skills instead turned into a competition to see how cleverly they could draw these semi-naked women in poses where their xxxxxxx were obscured with...
* Long hair strategically draped over both xxxxxxx
* Arms held in positions that obscured both xxxxxxx
* Olympic torches held in just such a way that they covered up the xxxxxxx
* Flags waved by spectators in the foreground that his the athletes xxxxxxx
.... you get the picture? Or should I say, back then, you didn't.
