Yeah, ''Cigarette Brett'' was the last one I drew and im quite satisfied with result, tho ''Angelic Brett'' in the middle is closer to heart, since he turned out so adorably benign. :D

I never liked that haircut in the middle, it never looked right for me in the episodes. It seemed too modern for the era.

I read - maybe in Bending the Willow - that between S1 and S2 Brett had a manic episode and cut his hair. If you watch the HOUN he has this little "triangle" of hair over his forehead. He said afterward he was trying to get that hairline that was in some of the illlustrations.

Perfectly valid view. I've personally grown accustomed to that haircut from his other films.
