It's di...Don, I agree with you about waif art. It's difficult to understand Margaret and Walter getting in a tug of war over such bad art. It was interesting to read Walter's perspective but I'm afraid he left out a few things. Walter was known for being domineering and when Margaret fled the marriage, he was the one who tried to block her from using the name or from painting kids with big eyes. Margaret's only possible method of proving her case was to paint side-by-side in front of witnesses. Ultimately, it was an independent judge who ordered Walter to paint for the court, and apparently was unimpressed with Walter's "sore shoulder" excuse.David Apatoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11293486149879229016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589105760911453392.post-12253723841028294912011-07-05T19:39:33.781-07:002011-07-05T19:39:33.781-07:00Peter -- Waifs have been around longer, of course....Peter -- Waifs have been around longer, of course. But I know zilch about anime and manga and can offer no serious help.<br /><br />The characters do have larger eyes than the typical Japanese, so I'll theorize that the eyes are the way they are because either (1) they are more expressive or (2) this makes anime more marketable outside Asia (i.e., in those Japanese-make cartoon programs my kids used to watch on TV when they were grade school age). Or maybe both theories have some validity.<br /><br />Thank you for catching the resemblance: it hadn't occurred to me.Donald Pittengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11307228686847434740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589105760911453392.post-81703257841829257372011-07-05T17:53:38.586-07:002011-07-05T17:53:38.586-07:00Did anime inspire waif art, or vice-versa?
