People respond better to cartopons than they do to photos. By doing odd
skintones (blue, orange, etc.) I am able to cicrumvent occasional racial
questions raised. Make the style generic enough and you can circumvent
gender issues as well.

Dave, could you clarify what you mean by "people respond better to
cartoons"? Do you mean they respond better to cartoons than photographs of
real people? If so how did you come to this conclusion? Just trying to
understand where you're coming from on this. Cool stuff btw.
