Thanks! = )
Ya' know, I never could understand the whole crazy cut and shirtless farmhand thing aside from general eye candy.
Personally, I've never met a farmhand who was built like that. They were strong and all but never sculpted like I seen being drawn on Big Mac. That kind of body shape is suited more for shows, not so much for the actual heavy lifting and the repeat movements of working the fields.
With the crazy cut look, the midsections are too thin on the sides with the classic washboard abs being super well defined. I've seen guys like that throw their backs out just trying to do a simple dead lift because they didn't focus enough on their sides and lower back. Imagine how long that build would last tossing hay bails. I can be evil sometimes but I couldn't do that to the poor boy. = )
Same thing goes with the shirtless thing. Mac seems like a quite guy, not very showy. Never hit me as the type to strut about with his top off. Well... not without a decent reason anyway.
This might be one of the only interpreations I've seen of Mac that isn't either:
A. Completely buffed out. B. Sans a shirt.
So props to you for this interestly refreshing interpretation. And bonus points for adding Mr. Smarty Pants.
