I think it's a
good title, given the lavatorial humour that festoons
the MM/JSW world. It's crap that goes down the bog,
after all! ;->

BTW, you get to `go down the
bog' in Goodnite Luddite - it's an old-fashioned
wooden box with a circular hole in the top!
;-)

This is a most intriguing
personal interpretation - please elaborate with detail and
examples! :-) :-)

I think part of the crux of We
Pretty - and I *do* want to leave this open to personal
interpretation - is a struggle for dominance between Good and
Evil, which is what the white/cyan colour symbolism is
all about. Everyone has some good and some evil in
them, and this can lead to conflict. This idea will be
further explored in Goodnite
Luddite...
