Not woman enough for you, 'ey?

Not too long ago I received an email from someone complaining that
Griffen "looks like a man." Like so:

The author went on to express their aggravation with this state of
affairs: clearly I was capable of rendering the expected womanly
form. They suggested I seriously revise Griffen's look.

Well, I was a bit flummoxed, so I sent out an email to some cohorts,
including my esteemed editor, outlining the dilemma and some possible
responses on my part. Much to my delight, Erika Moen leapt into
action and sent me this possible redesign for Ms. Stoyka:

Perhaps a name change is also in order: Chiffon, maybe?

Few things make me grumpier than readers who are convinced that they know better than me how to draw my own characters.

Griffen's perfect just as she is.

OTOH, you can laugh to yourself that you've so threatened someone's sense of what a woman is. Snee hee hee.

Frankly, I have always thought Griffen's boobs were too big. I mean, talk about Helium City! Woa! You'll put somebody's eyes out with those things.

But seriously, wot a shmuck. She's beeyoooteeefulll.

And, yes, Erika rocks.
