Interesting. Is that a personal preference, or (besides the copyright
issues) a typical artist thing? (Remember, my knowledge of the art/
illustration world is about equal to my knowledge about the stock
market - note that I am *not* rich.)

My curiosity stems from interest in different styles. When the ill-
fated benefit book came out, I was fascinated to see how others
interpreted your characters. Every artist seems to have a focus on
specific areas (no, not *those* areas!) that results in an
illustration that's both recognizable and foreign at the same time.

Since I'm familiar with your style, I wondered if it had been applied
to other familiar characters. I have to admit that I'm ignorant of
99.998% of the characters out there, but I know that one (and a few
others, like Omaha. Ooo, am I getting old?)
