This question's for Dave--

Why did you decide to make 3 fingers/2 toes part of Kurt's character design? I'm just curious.

Well, actually, I sort of h alf-heartedly drew a third toe as a heel. A gripping toe, as it were. That doesn't explain, however, how he can get his foot into a boot made for a normal human foot. :LOL :LOL :LOL

Personally, I'd have to give Jack Kirby an awful lot of credit as a creator...
