Luckily for your niece (not to mention my nieces and goddaughter) there are online communities of diverse but supportive and intelligent communities where an individual may safely admit that the aesthetic appeal of certain illustrated proportions may not be entirely intellectual but can also discuss why the preponderance of such representations is problematic and be led to alternatives that likely wouldn’t have been carried in comic book stores of yore.
That’s one of the things I envy about those growing up with the internet, even if it is hard sometimes to separate the wheat from the virtual chaff.
