The riddler strikes back

The girl I sit opposite at work goes to a life drawing class every week and has asked if I wanted to go along. Now I know I look dead arty and that* but truth be told, I can't draw for shit. I think I had a vaguely age-appropriate artistic talent until age 9 but it's stuck about there.

Today I doodled a little cartoon face and realised it was exactly the cartoon face I used to draw (i.e., same as Wicked Willy) and I told this girl that this was the best I could do. So I told her to do a sketch to show me what she could do and because she resisted, we agreed to sketch each other.

I don't have what I did (but it looked like Sam Brown, she of the 80s songs ... and A looks like, I don't know, a brunette Michaele Strachan or something). However, here is her drawing of me. Be prepared, if you know what I look like - I think she's got the hair down, but I DO NOT LOOK LIKE A RIDDLER.

Or do I?

* joke, obv, apart from that a girl did approach Pollymagoo and I on Friday night and said 'I wondered if I knew you cos I'm an artist and you look arty' [insert laughing]
