It's like a crutch to make characters look more natural.

Given that, it's not too hard to make thick girls not look like they're constantly posing for a pinup, cheesecake book.
Are you saying that Misfile only looks like the girls are constantly posing for pin-ups because he has to draw their legs? Because no, there are other ways of drawing legs that don't emphasise their hip-to-ankle ratio and all the stereotypical curves, but Chris only seems to choose the poses that do. Whereas female characters in QC are allowed to slouch without being embarrassed, stand without sticking out their buttocks or twisting their knees together, sit without their legs front and centre etc. I still read Misfile (and hasn't it been running nearly as long as QC? *checks* only half a year less) but the changelessness of the art is a stark contrast.
