Personally I agree that the rendition of Katie is perhaps a little too on-
the-nose; I probably have one Y chromosome too many to act offended
but it's kind of annoying if the only way to acknowledge femininity is to
box it up in the usual cute-and-pink-dress way, even if I recognize it's a
convenient visual shorthand.

As for irony though, it's not like you're shy of sticking to your own
cultural reference frame when it suits you - i.e. the manga comment,
when no particular stylization is really neutral when it comes down to
it.

Well, I'm sure everybody was waiting with bated breath to read what
Ossi would think of this - you know, given your impressive track record
and well-established qualifications when it comes to artwork contribu-
tions.


Cheers,
Eike
