About
Bump Girl refers to a female character used on 4chan to bump threads, or refresh them for others to see. The character is used in images, often pornographic, with other characters called “Age” and “Sage”. She is depicted as being abstracted and in the nude, and wearing a purple headband and the phrase “bump” on her chest.
Origin
The suspected original artist “volcanomoon” (also known as Rage the Dragoon among other aliases) made Bump Girl/Chan as a means to bribe 4chan users into providing a source for another animated gif. From there, he used Bump Chan (as he refers to her) to continue his search while serving as an impetus to continue doodling. [1] Afterwards, the artist went on to create other “waves” in addition to two comics, one of which is currently in progress. [2]
Spread
Other artists have created their own versions of Bump Girl/Chan along with creating versions of other characters such as Age Man, Age Girl and Sage Girl/Chan. [3] Bump Chan and her variants have documented use on 4chan and other imageboards even through 2012. [4]
