Not long ago a reader commented that the illustrations to my stories lacked mature (though not old) fully-figured women. While I agree that I tend to prefer lithe female models of modest breast and perhaps boyish bottom, I think over the years I have included a fair number of women with other shapes. However, in response to that comment, I’ve created a woman of some heft and maybe a bit on the other side of thirty-five. She shows up in today’s story “Flamenco,” which is about a couple preparing for their participation in a parents’ talent show at the local high school. Tomorrow’s story “Talent Show” continues with that event. In the next week or two this woman will appear in a few more stories. (If you have an interest in seeing a character with a particular feature or features, don’t hesitate to let me know.)
