I'm a writer. I read a lot of comics. My friend Jojo is an artist. She doesn't read any comics.

At lunch, she draws super heroes from memory. Her memory is not always very good.

As you look at these drawings, I can not stress enough that Jojo is a professional artist, and a full grown woman. It's important to remember that.

Today Jojo draws Sailor Chibi Moon.
We’re more than half way through our Sailor Moon week, and I’m starting to pick it up. This is Sailor Moon’s daughter from the future. She’s basically Cable. Great. Got it. This looks about right to me, if we ignore the, truly horrifying way Jojo draws anime eyes (which I can not, never in a million years, they haunt my dreams so.) Let’s see what Josie “Sailor Moon Expert” Campbell has to say about it.
Josie: “Oh god. Those EYES.
Ok, now we’ve gotten past that: while Jojo set out to draw Rini what she actually drew was Sailor Chibi Chibi Moon (if Chibi Chibi, you know, stole a Powerpuff Girl’s feet). Judging it as Chibi Chibi Jojo just needs to give her white boots, make her odango heart shaped, add a bow to the back of the skirt, and change the color of her skirt and sailor bib from pink to blue.
However, as Jojo set out to draw Rini, I have to judge it that way and point out that Jojo left off the bow on the back of the skirt again, the front bow should be red, she should have two shocks of pink hair coming out the bottom of her odango, she should have a pink choker, and she should be wearing pink boots (she also left off the white jewel things that go along with Rini’s red jewel things. I don’t know what they’re called). But as Jojo’s drawing reminded me of the existence of Chibi Chibi AND, for the first time, Jojo remembered the Sailor Scouts all wear tiaras, I’ll let that slide.
Now go back to staring at those eyes. THOSE EYES.”
