KDE is all about innovating and moving forward, but Katie hadn't changed her apparel in more than 10 years.

Now, sporting an orange hoodie and leggings, she's ready to spring into action and stomp on all those pesky bugs!

Sadly, the BSD Daemon (originally by Phil Foglio, but reworked a bit since) is finding that potbelly isn't looking so cherubic as the years drag on. (He also seems to have lost all of his hair since the very first illustration.)
