Logo Go Go

This is a logo for Wichita stories featuring both Wichita and Tuff-Girl, and I’ve come around to thinking that most Wichita stories are probably going to feature both. Of course, Making that sound like a rule is only going to be a challenge to come up with stories about Wichita solo adventures.
