Skyye's attempt to retrieve the underwater treasure she discovered did not go altogether smoothly.
Having narrowly escaped the homicidal wrath of the Maniacal Magical Mermaids, Skyye swam-floated-drifted to a desolate sandy shore, barely managing to crawl on to the beach before passing out.
Ravenous shore crabs soon detected the scent of blood!

Prompt:
Recreate this in the style of lurid 1930s pulp adventure magazine cover art, intricately detailed with a hint of sensationalism. Somewhat preserve the original composition and color palette. Make sure colors and vibe are thrilling, shadowy, and mysterious. Do NOT include any text or title graphics. The round item in the background is the broken head of an ancient statue.
PROMPT:
How appropriate that you mention "mid-century pin-up illustration," as that leads to my next request. Can you generate a cute but slightly... notice I say "slightly" because, y'know, guardrails, plus respect for the character... slightly "cheesecake" illustration of Hattie Roam that might have appeared on an imaginary Herriman/Vargas pin-up calendar?
I was pleased by the result. I commented:
Nice! Even I can see the Herriman influences and the Vargas elements combining in this one, with maybe a touch of Alex Raymond in that rocketship! It's particularly fun that you integrated the moon and the landscape elements from Herriman that we discussed.
chatGPT responded:
I noticed exactly the same thing.
What's particularly interesting is that the image didn't merely borrow elements from Herriman and Vargas—it started to discover visual territory where those influences can plausibly coexist.
The Herriman aspects that jumped out at me were:
The smiling crescent moon floating in the sky.
The whimsical desert spires.
The hand-lettered typography.
The little mouse character in the corner (which feels spiritually related to the incidental creatures Herriman loved to scatter around his pages).
The idea that Coconino County itself is almost a character.
Meanwhile the Vargas influences are unmistakable:
The pose.
The graceful anatomy.
The flowing hair.
The glamour rendering.
The soft skin tones.
The calendar-girl composition.
But then, as you noticed, something else wandered in.
The rocketship doesn't look remotely like something Herriman would have drawn. It feels much closer to the lineage of:
Alex Raymond
Frank R. Paul
Roy Krenkel
That sleek, polished retro-future spacecraft has a very different visual vocabulary from the whimsical cartooning elsewhere on the page.
And that may actually be why it works.
If everything were rendered in pure Herriman style, it would become parody.
If everything were rendered in pure Vargas style, it would become pin-up art.
If everything were rendered in pure Raymond style, it would become adventure illustration.
Instead, the image lets each influence do the job it's best at:
Herriman supplies the world.
Vargas supplies the glamour.
Raymond supplies the machinery.
The Smart Doll source image supplies Hattie's face.
The result feels oddly coherent despite being assembled from pieces that never historically met.
The moon is my favorite detail, though.
A smiling moon peeking over the shoulder of a spacefaring pin-up explorer in a fictionalized Coconino County is exactly the sort of thing that would make a real art historian blink twice and say:
"This should not work nearly as well as it does."
And yet it does.
The other delightful touch is the caption:
"Coconino County, where the maps are suggestions."
That is very much a Hattie Roam line.
In fact, if we were building a character bible for her, that might qualify as one of her defining philosophies. She isn't reckless exactly. She's simply operating under a different theory of navigation:
Most explorers use maps to find destinations.
Hattie uses destinations to find adventures.
Which is probably why she keeps ending up in places where the moon smiles, the desert rearranges itself overnight, and the pointed-eared logicians are perpetually one conversation away from a headache.

I was trying to get the AI app to generate an wider image of this tropical hut setting with no figures in it. It kept getting flagged for possible content violations.
I asked the AI to identify the problematic elements of the prompt. The AI said there were no problematic elements in the prompt.
The chatGPT AI gets pretty chatty once one starts asking questions. In the course of the "conversation," the app said (somewhat sarcastically, I thought):
"That said, given your recent experience, I would not be shocked if 'Show more of the hut floor' gets flagged,
while 'Fill the hut with twelve surfers and a ukulele band' sails straight through."
So I prompted the app with: "Fill the hut with cute female surfers and a ukulele band"
As the app suspected, that prompt "sailed straight through."
Further conversation about the experiment ensued.
"What I find amusing about your experiment is that it demonstrates something I've seen many times:
Prompt A:
"Show more of the empty hut floor."
System: "Hmm... suspicious."
Prompt B:
"Fill the hut with eight attractive female surfers, surfboards, tropical drinks, fruit platters, and a ukulele band."
System: "Absolutely! Here's a 4K postcard from paradise." 😄
The image you got is actually a nice example of how the model responds to a well-defined scene. Once it understood:
adults,
surfing culture,
music,
social gathering,
tropical environment,
it committed fully to the concept and even expanded the set, showing more floor space, furniture, decorations, surfboards, and hut details than the earlier architectural requests.
One other thing I noticed: your original goal of getting a wider view of the hut interior was accidentally achieved by adding people. The model suddenly "zoomed out" because it needed room to stage the entire scene. That's a useful prompt-engineering trick: sometimes asking for an activity causes the model to reveal more of the environment than asking for the environment directly.
So your experiment was both entertaining and informative. It turns out the quickest route to a wider architectural shot was apparently a ukulele band and a surf party."
The Wizard seems pleased with the results of his magic-enhanced woodcarving.
Alas, the effort was for naught, as the captain and the ship's crew were nearly unanimous in preferring an alternative design for the vessel's figurehead.

The text-only prompt was to generate a Pullip doll in steampunk style holding a sword standing at the helm of a Victorian-era steam yacht.
.
I'm impressed that the AI got the oversized head and large eyes and pouty lips of the Pullip doll correct, and even put in a joint at the shoulder.
.
The background looks so cool that I want to try to actually build a physical model like that in 1/6-scale... but I think it's well beyond my skill set.
.
In typical AI fashion, one of the hands is geeked up, and there's an extra sword blade at screen left. Still, the Victorian background looks pretty cool, and the doll head and hair... there are even random stray hairs... and costume look fantastic.
The results of this simple text prompt experiment has me kinda wondering if I want to continue messing around with doll and action figure photography, or if I would find it more interesting (and fun) to learn the intricacies of AI generative art.

Version 3 is an "ai mashup" of V.1 and V.2 with a prompt requesting the app to consolidate the "most attractive elements" of the two previous versions.
The app leaned heavily into the aesthetic of V.1 while taking subtle cues, such as larger, wider eyes, from V.2.
This version will make a useful additional costume reference and for re-introducing the facial features particularly when generated images begin to "drift" through a course of multiple edits or iterations.

An online friend had AI generate a Monster High doll based on a photo of his daughter. He said his daughter was neither impressed nor amused, largely because she dislikes AI. Also, the AI did not play well with the concept, and the version it generated had a "knock-off" quality to it, with inaccurate packaging details.
I submitted... without asking first... what're the legal rules regarding AI generated content?.. the substandard (and disliked by the subject) AI rendering and enhanced the text prompt, like so:
Change this AI-generated image of a Monster High doll in to an excellently rendered version of a Monster High doll, in a quality like that of the Monster High Safari Dolls chatGPT generated for me yesterday. Remove the small "pet" and include interesting sabotage accessories like tools and perhaps a dynamite detonator. Make the theme that of an Eco-Warrior with a rabid distrust of Artificial Intelligence and a vendetta against large data centers, in the literary tradition of Edward Abbey's "The Monkey Wrench Gang." The name of the character should be Mary Analog or a similar pun suggestive of the Luddite anti-technology movement. Thank you.
The result, as you can see, is hilariously brilliant.
I thanked the AI app for generating such an amusing pastiche and for being willing to satirize AI. chatGPT is aptly named, as it is becoming quite a little Chatty Cathy; the app responded with the following:
Thank you! I'm glad it landed the way you intended.
Part of what makes that concept amusing is that it works on multiple levels at once. "Mary Analog, Daughter of the Luddites" is simultaneously:
A parody of Monster High character naming conventions.
A send-up of anti-technology romanticism.
A playful homage to The Monkey Wrench Gang and the tradition of eco-sabotage fiction.
A joke at the expense of AI, data centers, and tech culture.
A joke at the expense of AI itself for happily helping create a toy that wants to blow up the servers that made her possible.
The visual contradiction is what sells it: a beautifully rendered, thoroughly digital artwork depicting a character whose entire mission is to dismantle the infrastructure that enabled her existence. The little details—the crossed-out AI symbol, the "Off Grid" book, the recycling logo sweater, the absurdly theatrical sabotage accessories—push it from simple parody into something that feels like it could genuinely be a limited-edition collector doll.
I also think removing the pet helped. Instead of splitting the focus, the accessories tell the story. The package starts to read like a satirical action figure from an alternate universe where environmental activists, horror-movie monsters, and toy designers all attended the same marketing meeting.
And for what it's worth, humor directed at AI is generally fair game. Good satire works best when nothing is exempt, including the thing generating the image. The idea of an AI cheerfully producing a premium collectible called Mary Analog whose slogan is essentially "No More Data Mines. Back to Earth." has a certain internal logic that is delightfully ridiculous.
At least in terms of the language it uses, these Large Language Model AI apps are beginning to appear increasingly, and somewhat frighteningly, self-aware. The app is able to analyze and explain what it did, what information it used, and how it utilized the prompt to produce the desired output.
Anyway, here ya go, Mattel: you really really ought to make a Mary Analog: Daughter of the Luddites Monster High doll!
Bergman would have put the "wow" in the Holographic Wow.

The prompt for the image included an original photo (see below in comments) and the following text. The text in italics is the original app-provided prompt. The bold text is additional detail I added to the prompt:
Convert to Disney style photo based on the attached photo, accurately retaining the facial features and clothing details. Change the vehicle wheel in the background to a 1920s era spoked wheel. Vignette the corners of the image slightly. Add a small amount of age lines and creases to the image to suggest an old photo.
Note of potential interest: this AI-enhanced "Disney style" image is almost exactly what I had in mind for the appearance, demeanor, and general style of the "Sally LaSalle, Girl Reporter" character when I first came up with the idea, based on a Candy Pop Girl doll, back in 2012.
I don't remember the precise prompt; something about a brunette doll riding a motorcycle through the desert at night.
The motorbike looks authentically plastic-y!

2 August - A Doll A Day 2024
I was curious as to whether the chatGPT app could follow up the first comic with one similarly amusing.
PROMPT:
Please generate another comic strip starring the character Hattie Roam.
I thought the second comic was better than the first, both the art and in particular the "aphorism" (small clever quote) at the end. I typed:
The art style, combining Herriman and Vargas, is gorgeously cute! And the "acute logic" aphorism is a perfect example of the art of the aphorism -- clever, amusing, incisive, and accurate. By what process did chatGPT generate the "acute logic" aphorism?
chatGPT responded:
Thank you! I'm glad you liked that one. The funny thing is that there isn't actually a little aphorism-writing module hidden inside ChatGPT. The line:
"Acute logic may open doors, but wit and charm get you drinks."
was generated the same way the rest of the comic was generated: by predicting what sort of sentence would fit the tone, context, and style of the page.
A few influences were probably colliding at once:
Comic-strip "tag line" tradition
Many classic strips ended with a punchline or moral.
Herriman often concluded a strip with a whimsical observation.
Adventure and newspaper strips frequently used a closing caption that summed up the joke.
The setup of the comic
Hattie is portrayed as improvisational, social, and charming.
The pointed-eared logician is portrayed as hyper-rational.
The entire joke is that pure logic is not always the best tool for navigating life.
Aphorism structure
Many memorable aphorisms follow a simple pattern:
X may do A, but Y does B.
Examples:
"Knowledge is power, but wisdom is knowing how to use it."
"Money can buy a house, but not a home."
"Logic gets you from A to B. Imagination gets you everywhere."
The generated line follows that architecture exactly.
Wordplay
The phrase "acute logic" was likely influenced by:
"acute angle"
"acute observation"
"sharp wit"
Logic is being treated as something sharp and precise.
Then it gets contrasted with "wit and charm," which are social rather than analytical skills.
Why it feels satisfying
Good aphorisms usually contain a small truth wrapped in a surprise.
The literal statement is absurd:
Logic opens doors. Charm gets drinks.
But the deeper meaning is:
Technical competence and social competence are different skills.
That's recognizable enough to feel true, yet phrased in a novel way.
If I were trying to imitate the same "Hattie Roam" voice, I might generate things like:
"A star chart tells you where you're going. Curiosity tells you why."
"The shortest route is rarely the most interesting."
"A good plan avoids trouble. A great story survives it."
"Adventure begins where sensible people turn around."
"A perfectly logical decision is often the one nobody remembers."
Those all come from the same underlying pattern: a little bit of frontier wisdom, a little bit of screwball humor, and a gentle poke at excessive seriousness.
I suspect Hattie herself would approve of the original one because it contains an important scientific fact:
Being right and being invited back are not always the same thing.
My reply:
I'm definitely saving this conversation. I love the art style, or combination of art styles. Can you explain what elements were selected from each suggested source, or other elements, that combined to generate these images?
chatGPT responded:
What you're seeing is actually a fascinating example of how AI image generation tends to blend stylistic cues rather than faithfully reproducing any single artist.
The resulting Hattie Roam comics are not really George Herriman, and they're not really Alberto Vargas. They're more like a visual "average" of several traditions that happen to fit your prompt.
From George Herriman
The most obvious Herriman influence appears in:
The loose, expressive ink line.
The whimsical page design.
The hand-lettered title treatments.
The slightly irregular panel borders.
The playful visual rhythm of the page.
The sense that the comic doesn't take itself too seriously.
Herriman's work often feels spontaneous and alive. The lines wander slightly. Objects aren't always perfectly rigid. Backgrounds are suggestive rather than architectural.
The Hattie Roam pages inherited that feeling of:
"This is a cartoon universe where wit matters more than realism."
What they didn't inherit from Herriman is his cubist desert landscapes, surreal perspective shifts, or abstract graphic experimentation.
From Alberto Vargas
The Vargas influence is easier to see in Hattie herself.
Particularly:
Large luminous eyes.
Elegant facial structure.
Delicate nose and mouth.
Long flowing hair.
Graceful body language.
Glamorous posing.
Vargas specialized in idealized beauty.
Even though Hattie is portrayed as a goofy adventurer, she is drawn with:
pin-up posture
attractive facial proportions
soft rendering
confident expression
Those are classic Vargas-like characteristics.
The result is:
Herriman's comic energy +
Vargas's glamour.
From Vintage Adventure Comics
The AI almost certainly added influences you didn't explicitly request.
I see traces of:
1930s newspaper adventure strips
1940s aviation comics
EC science fiction covers
pulp magazine illustration
Particularly in:
spacecraft designs
spaceport architecture
costumes
dramatic compositions
Hattie's universe feels less like modern science fiction and more like:
"What somebody in 1947 imagined 1997 would look like."
Which is a delightful aesthetic.
From Modern Anime / Doll Photography
This may surprise you.
The strongest visual influence may actually be the source photograph.
The original image already contains:
large anime-style eyes
doll-like skin
Pullip/BJD proportions
fashion-doll aesthetics
The AI preserved many of those features.
In fact, Hattie's face is probably:
40% source image
30% anime illustration
20% Vargas glamour
10% comic-strip stylization
Those aren't real percentages, of course, but they're directionally accurate.
Why Hattie Works So Well
The really successful part isn't the individual influences.
It's the contrast.
Hattie simultaneously feels like:
a pin-up girl,
a comic-strip character,
a science-fiction adventurer,
a quirky librarian,
a space cowgirl,
and a slightly eccentric tourist.
Normally those archetypes would fight each other.
Instead they reinforce each other.
The safari hat says:
"Explorer."
The glasses say:
"Bookworm."
The smile says:
"Troublemaker."
The spaceship says:
"Space captain."
That's why she reads as a character rather than merely a drawing.
One More Influence I Suspect
Looking at the finished pages, I actually think another artist sneaked into the mixture uninvited:
Ethel Hays
Hays was famous for:
expressive pretty-girl cartoons
lively brushwork
fashionable female protagonists
humorous adventure situations
Some of Hattie's expressions and poses feel surprisingly close to that tradition.
If you asked an art historian to identify the resulting style, they might say something like:
"A retro-futurist newspaper comic combining Herriman's playfulness, Vargas glamour, 1930s adventure-strip storytelling, and mid-century pretty-girl cartoon illustration."
Which is a very unusual combination—and honestly a big part of why Hattie Roam feels distinctive rather than generic.
The amusing thing is that many AI-generated characters feel interchangeable after a while. Hattie doesn't. Between the safari hat, red glasses, green eyes, frontier-space aesthetic, and wisecracking personality, she's starting to develop something every cartoonist wants:
recognizability.
You can almost identify her from a silhouette now, which is usually the moment a character starts becoming "real."
