I just saw something incredible!  On page 20 of "Adventures of Superman
#548 (1997/28)" there is a Ranma 1/2 banner right on Lois and Clark's
wall!!!  I'd say that was a landmark for us Otaku.

The finger touching, I think, was just was done without thought to E.T.

Now,

you are going to tell me that 'Pinky Swearing' means somthing in the

United

States.
BlackStan.

It does!  Haven't you ever seen "Full House"!?
