- He really did just sort of wake up in it one day
Don't worry, Elliot! It's not like there's anything spooky running around.
In case it's not obvious by now, I've grown to prefer the button-eyed chibis character models for, well, chibi panels. While it's more difficult to make it apparent where they're looking without BETRAYING! the style, there's a strong contrast between it and the normal style, and there's not much point to going chibi if it doesn't stand out.
Elliot's Cheerleadra costume is less a reflection of what Elliot would have chosen for a woman super hero and more his expectations as forged by popular culture. That said, the costume could have been much, much worse (or better, depending on your views on the matter).
