I absolutely, positively cannot express how necessary backgrounds or references are in growth comics. It doesn't have to be the Sistine Chapel or anything... Hell, even just a ruler would do... here you've no background AND a dearth of rippage... so when I saw this on DA, I really didn't think there was any growth in it. Suffice to say if you have to caption pictures with the height - you've probably done something wrong.
Definitely agree that there was a lot of word bloat. I think it's relatively easy to insert text balloons into comics if you do it on a computer... but I think you'd probably have done better to streamline the dialogue anyway.
I do hope that's constructive criticism and doesn't come off as man bitching. For the record, I really liked the last shot - it had a nice composition and you did a great job of rendering Stacky with a good rack.
