Am all for them : animated or otherwise. I think that most of them probably reflect the characters of the writers to some extent. My favourites are those which convey a sense of humour and there are plenty of those. Thumbs up for avatars!
what's all this poo-pooing of grammy-winning rock star Pat Benatar? There's nothing ridiculous about her music. Dont you remember "Love is a football field."
I like avatars, it makes it easy for me to quickly see who's commenting. Which is why I absolutely HATE it when Last Child constantly changes his avatar. It's like the damn GF and the TV remote. Just pick one and stay with it.
