Does the above formulation not contain disparaging words? -> The 'steins are cartoons (encompassing pics, naming, story lines) and not a subgenre of anything else. The 'steins are cartoons with their own unique style. The simplest neutral wording here, is "Pete Casso created the 'steins." -> The cow collection is generally known as such, but you compared the 'steins with the "Silly Cows" ^^^^^ Perhaps you may want to edit out the offending words. On a more fundamental note, I don't think that you can compare the 'steins which are cartoons, with the cows, etc which are basically picture collections (with perhaps with the occasional cartoon in them.) I think you need to compare apples with apples, i.e. cartoons with cartoons. You compared in the above quote apples with oranges, i.e. cartoon with picture collections, but I am nevertheless curious, what measures did you take in making your comparisons in the above quote? ================================================================ [] [] [] /( )\ Visit the Gallery of the 'steins!
