Strong female characters everywhere. It definitely passes the Bechdel test. And they were pretty equal in their relationships, too, which always stuck with me when I read it.

I'm all excited that someone else remembers them. I hope you find some of your old ones! But if you don't , I think the Pinis digitally colored everything and put it online. Be warned though, her digital coloring skills aren't as mindblowing as her watercolors were.

The Hithchiker's guide to the galaxy was also amazing. Aww. It's been a while since I've read it, now.
