Though I did not deliberately set out to make the psychic lady look like Patty or Selma from The Simpsons, she sure as heck turned out that way; several readers commented on the similarity. In actuality, I've met several women over the years who resembled the character , and the design just seemed to match the cynical personality I was trying to convey.
I'm amused with the irony of how the telephone-psychic (whose profession is usually regarded with skepticism) is actually right on the money with her reading regarding Skippy's personal life, his disappointed reaction to the news, and her spot-on follow-up prediction of him being in terrible danger. :)
