Cutesy picture signatures

I wish I could read Marika's upgrade plan. We know that it involves a huge increase in comm, but it would be nice to know what else she's thinking about.

The nicest thing there, of course, is Marika's cutesy drawing of herself as a signature. It's one of the very few times that Marika has permitted herself to be girlie while in the job as captain.

That picture stirred some memories of other notes with similar signatures. One was in Nanoha A's:

That one's Hayate. And then there was Reki:

/images/05160.jpg

Which is not at all the same!

I have a very vague memory that there may have been something like that in Hand Maid May, too, but I may be remembering a chibi instead. (And I don't feel like looking for it.)

Can anyone think of other examples like this?

1 My eyes aren't up to making out all of her handwriting this morning, but I got a fair amount of it. There are five numbered phases running down the left side, with #2 and #4 containing 11-degree turns, and a box pointing to phase 4's turn with something about checking the antenna.

Here's a bigger version:

(I reduced it for the main post.)

3 Am I the only one who typed "UTTP://eng.T68#10329" into my browser to see if it worked??

And what you got told is "UTTP unrecognized", or something to that effect, right?

It's actually a nice piece of double-talk. (And no, I didn't try it.)

By the way, in her speech next episode, I wonder of she'll harken to the words of Benjamin Franklin, when standing in line to sign the Declaration of Independence.

Someone else said, "We must hang together." And Ben said, "We must, indeed, all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."

6 Talking about "hanging" seems rather morbid for this show.  Marika is always saying how much fun it is to be a space pirate.  Maybe something along the lines of "We few, we happy few..."

7 I got more out of the bigger version of the picture, thanks, but there are still a few I can't quite figure out. The highlighted box under the title block is "workflow!", the bubble to the right of phase 2 is "data transfer within 2 hours", the small faint print is some sort of engine check, there's time for a break after phase 4 (adjustment/organization is ??-thing; I swear I should know that kanji), and the big box under the "go!" is about a visual check on the antenna during the transmission connection (linked to the second turn).

And I think I'd have enjoyed this sort of project plan a lot more than the ones I usually get...
