Description
A new Gamma Wolf piece, different, so some background...The main idea I had was (initially at least) the change would be one-way, but of course this presents problems for someone who is trying to locate a cure/stumble across other gamma mutants/mutations. So I had the idea she'd get about in a large 4WD/SUV and wear a big over/trench-coat and fedora ala the Ninja Turtles and Ben Grimm to hide her size/coloration.
Problem was I kept hitting roadblocks with how to cover the gap between the neck of the coat and her face. Nothing made sense, nothing worked, no joy different angles, trying to cant the head forward, nothing.
When Tom Baker and came to the rescue via this:
The big old Tom Baker Doctor Who scarf, like the one more than a few kids at the daycare/preschool I went to back in the early 80's used to fight over to get to use like Baker Doctor Who on our screens at the time (the only real memory of said daycare left for me) provided a suitable means of gap filling.
And I guess this submission meets that goal too..

Yeah, reminded me a bit of Grimm. Interesting stuff...and I guess that means a scarf too.

Actually there was a Senstational She-Hulk cover IIRC that went for overboard winter clothing to counter-art cheese-cake, that used a scarf, though it didn't influence this piece

I remember that one. Basically it was just Byrne getting back at the typical nature of female comic covers...as much of a jerk as Byrne can get, he always seemed to satirize a lot of fan crap with Shulkie.

Ahhh yes... why did Ben or the Turtles never use a scarf...

Well... they didn't want to hide themselves that much, or better artists drawing theem so could get away with collar pulled up...

No one ever really seemed to notice the Ninja Turtles... but then I guess that was part of the joke.

I know, and their coats only went down as their thighs, so whole lot of turtle leg flashing. I guess it only really works from a distance.

Yeah, it was pretty obvious that they had big green feet... and also enormous shells.
As they were in New York, I imagine it was some cutting insight into the alienation of large cities... that or just a vague concession to the fact people might raise an eyebrow to a giant turtle walking around in broad daylight. One of those.
