Windy, Bill Gates's illegitimate daughter!

In 1995, just as Windows 95 was being released, I was enthused by the possibilities offered by the new OS. I spent days exploring the system and thought it would be cool to imagine some tutorials for non-specialists in the form of cartoons.

To that effect, I came up with a cute and friendly blonde called Windy, who introduced herself as "Bill Gates's illegitimate daughter." My project was to both write tutorials and do the illustrations, and sell the idea to a computer magazine.

But then, as I always did, I shyed away from the idea, thinking it was not good enough... Hadn't looked at this art in years. I still love the character of Windy!
