Get the the ghost in the machinemug. A shady figure known for drawing the largest breasts on the most unlikely of characters. A menace to the society of online snowflakes who throw a fit over "oversexualization" of characters who aren't even minors. He's also a very nice person, so don't judge a book by its cover!
