hahahaha, that was funny. I like your wit. It's dry and insightful. Sure playing on stereotypes is easy, but playing on them so deftly is far harder. Thanks for a good read :)

Thanks Edrik. Seems like my friends are taking turns posting the obligatory reply, and today you drew the short straw, so thanks.

Question for you (and anyone else who cares to comment....)

The drawing is nice. The shading is really well done. But your hair being different know makes a huge difference in how you appear. Just my 2c.
