Of course, there is no such thing as a perfect picture. I struggled with the fingers on this one. I made it from a photograph. And the photo only showed three visible fingers on each hand. The pointer finger on each hand is tucked behind the rest of the hands with the thumbs. They make Susu look like a cartoon character. So I tried extra hard to suggest what you can’t see. I had to make the right-hand pointer finger extra long to show the tip in shadow underneath. And then the stupid AI editor made the left hand flip the bird… but with the ring finger… So I had to redraw that even though it was the wrong finger for that. It looked stupid. AI can be very stupid.
But Susu likes it. I should say, however, that Susu is imaginary. She exists in my mind to take the place of the grandchild I lost to an ectopic pregnancy resolved before the Supreme Court made fixing the problem illegal and threatened the life of the poor mother. But Susu makes it easier to live with the loss, and everything that makes her happy is a pure healing miracle for my troubled mind.
