DeLay has lately tried to tone down his bulldog image.

He added that when he arrived back at house the next day it was in an uproar with...
...character's emotions. Katharine Washington's face is made of an inverted pentagon with two dots and five strokes for features, but her range outdoes that of many real actresses. Watson could give lessons in the economics of cartoon characterization. "Dumped," has an even more interesting look, with a gray wash, and slightly degraded lines that come either from rough paper or hard pencil...
