How could that baby be Ryoko when Mommy Ryoko is sitting right next to
her? Let's face it, we can't just take every illustration we see and
expect it to actually be part of the "real" story.......a lot of 'em
just seem to be fantasias, variations on themes and artistic license of
the "hey, wouldn't it be neat if......." variety ( like that Godzilla
spoof from the first hardback collection that had a monster Ryo-Ohki
battling a monster Sasami, while Tenchi and Aeka flee for their lives
and toy jets hang from wires ).

That said, I'd sure _like_ that to be part of the story........Ryoko
deserves to be cut a break! Cute li'l tyke, too..... :)
