Read the whole cartoon? Note the recurring theme? What must you start with???? A GOOD CHARACTER. No matter, then, if you’re also making them blind, Cambexican, chair-bound, bipolar, werewolf, purple-with-pink-spots, lesbian, pregnant, marathoner, arc-welders, mitten-knitting, bus-riding, knock-kneed, tea-sipping, English-side-saddle-competitors.
