The style improves and many more works appear. It’s clear that Cole has really gotten the hang of it, and has become increasingly passionate about these characters. The most frequently depicted subject is The Baddest in the World, because Cole stated: “I wasn’t ready yet to draw the others. Yes, I did try a few times, but nothing significant. Because The Baddest in the World had always been in my mind, I could already visualize him on the page, and I always carried him with me. He has never changed, because he is already perfect as he is. He doesn’t need a reason.

But all the other characters, even the important ones (like Annie for example), lived only in my head and not on the page as well. It took quite a while to get to all of them, and I think they can still be improved.”
