    Thanks. Software came with my Mac. I was going to draw it, but that wasn’t going so well…lol. Though I’m still playing around with creating some simple characters. I had to ply her with chocolate to get her to do the photos.

    I agree. The comic is great!! I would ask the savvy 15 year old just what it is she wants people to stare at? If I had a daughter, I think I would prefer that people were encouraged to look her in the eye … I would hope that would be her preference, as well.

    Precisely why she was presenting me with a young female pop star who I admire for her messages to young girls that your brain and heart matter much more than your body. I had already told her I didn’t want her sending the wrong message.

    I hate it when we’re sabotaged by our role models.
