those are great!

this isn't a comic but a cartoon: Lilo & Stich.
I've seen the movie and the cartoon series, I think it's a cool idea and hopefully it will introduce kids to the polynesian culture. Three things that I noticed about it though.
Lilo looks like a Muppet, kinda disturbing.
Her older sister is drawn with freakin HUGE legs! It makes me think if the creater is either a Crumb fan or has the same fixation as Crumb does. One episode I caught a few weeks ago (couldn't sleep late for some reason) Lilo's sister was xmas shopping and went to a Hawaiian merchant looking for some "shrunken heads". he looked at her and then replied "That's not Hawaiian, it's south American." I thought it was odd, but true. But why mention it in a cartoon for kids? I mean the kids probably never seen shrunken heads, but I just thought it was odd.
