Cartoonists and Avatars

I've been reading a lot of cartoons recently, and more than the fair share of them have been about the person writing the cartoon. Since most people who do that sort of cartoon aren't all that shy, you'll see occasional photos of them.

I've noticed that, on the whole, unattractive/plain artists have cute l'il cartoon avatars, while attractive artists have really plain or even ugly avatars. The only ugly artists I've seen pictures of (strange, they don't post many pictures of themselves) ALSO have ugly avatars.

Innnnnnteresting.
