Okay, I think WCK must've run pics from the same generation of concept
drawings that spawned the first pic in Mark Lungo's SwatKats article, and
a pic of the guys running towards our POV in that "Toon" article some time
back. Picture coming up with those designs at the H-B level, then being told
to "age" your audience five or six years. You end up with what we're familiar
with, don't you?
