Cool, thanks for the link :-) No one has posted this on IMDb yet, have they? I'd do it but I'm not going to be on the interwebs for a wile.(or at least not as much as usual)

I love the cover of that book, and how Aang looks even more obviously east-asian.

Dunno - I'm not really in the mood for checking imdb. XD

Yes, the cover is beautiful. If you have time to decipher the texts there already a few "This is Asian, that is Asian" comments in it. I'm sure the complete book will give us even more backup. \o/

As long as the crap doesn't exceed the foreword I'll just skip it and pretend it wasn't there. *lalala*

For the Swampbenders they say:

"We modelled Due and Tho after fellow Nickelodeon show creators Doug TenNapel (Catscratch) and Carlos Ramos (The X's). This followed a bitter (?) caricature war between Carlos and some of the Avatar crew. If the design of Carlos seems unflattering, you should have seen the drawings he did of us! Swamp Monster and Swampbender designs by ..."
