I agree.  I haven't had a chance to say much recently about the F16
artwork but I am just overjoyed with how nice it looks.  This
countdown banner is totally adorable.  For whatever reason, the people
in it remind me in a light-hearted way of characters in Alan Moore's
"League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" graphic novels.  (It's just the
time period, I'm sure.)

Having said that, if someone put a little red scarf around the young
lady's neck I will owe that person a $BEVERAGE. :-)
