I agree entirely however Badtz is somewhat eclipsed by the mouthless
feline's incredible commercial success over the last couple of
decades..........you know there are some writings by anthropologists who've
tried to work out why Hello Kitty is so successful...the conclusion is that
because she has no mouth children (including big children that is) can
impose upon her any speech or ideas they wish..in other words mouthlessness
is the key to her success.
who'd have thought it?
