   The expository is easier to read on the sketch than on the final product. Ah, the simplicitious of good old black and white.

   nugget0 - I’m probably dating myself, but I remember watching her on TV. She wore caftans and had long hair. I remember Puffnstuff, too. Wasn’t there a dark-haired kid on there who once played in a version of Oliver Twist? He was the pick pocket who befriended Oliver - that is, if I’m remembering right. I think the little grey cells start to die ff when you hit 30 :(

   Don’t know about a dark-haired kid on Pufnstuf, but there was a dark-haired kid who played the Artful Dodger on The Monkees - Davy Jones…

   The dark-haired Pufnstuf kid was Jimmy, played by Jack Wild, who also played the Artful Dodger in the movie musical Oliver!, so your grey cells are in fine shape, debra4life50.

    Actually, while no-one said anything here, there were comments over at the finish.
     
    Actually, i doubt the change was for a “PG(13)” rating, since Brooke has gotten pretty graphic with actual impalements - consider these panels from The Tragedy of Henmellyn:

    Not to mention Pib strung up, her wings cut off, about to be vivisected in the “Man in Black” arc; Dru standing there with an opponent’s arm literally punched through her torso, sardonically wondering why “…they always go for the cleabage…?”
     
    And other things i’m not recalling definitely at the moment.
     
    Pibgorn is usually running the edge of PG13 or even soft R territory.
