I mentioned in another thread about Miki's clothing vs. Akiko's clothing and thought I'd start this one.
For those who like to count - how many different outfits does Miki wear in Spring and Summer? Does she ever repeat an outfit?
And, poor Akiko - did she ever own anything other than jeans and a t-shirt?
Any answers?

Thanks stevenc!
Now who wants to go through 53 akiko comics to realize I'm probably the only person (with Matthew Armstrong) who ever changed her clothes! (And if I'm wrong, I'd LOVE to hear it!)

Wow, stevenc, thanks so much for counting all those Miki falls outfits. Now that's dedication! I did spend a lot of time designing and choosing clothes for Miki, come to think of it. I'm very lucky to have attentive readers like you out there!

Speaking of clothing, and this may be a bit off-topic, but what's available in the "real world" as far as Mark Crilley-inspired clothing now? I just went to the Cosmic Therapy site to order (yet another) Poog Lives t-shirt for my son. This is probably the fourth or fifth one, as they have been highly favored sleep shirts for my kids for many years now. Anyway, my son's is getting pretty ratty. But he tells me he wants one for everyday wear now, and not just for sleeping. (He's 7 by the way.) This all got me to thinking that I've never seen any other clothing -- from Akiko, Billy Clikk or Miki -- that he or my now-12-year-old daughter might like. Anyone...?

On the subject of Akiko's outfits... I can think of a few off the top of my head, but FORTUNATELY, I happen to have issues 1-31 with me right now (heh-heh), so I can actually check to be sure...
Firstly, there's always the good ol' jeans and t-shirt outfit. Then in issue 4 Akiko wears pajamas during the dream sequence. From the end of issue 11 to somewhere around the middle of issue 18 she's wearing that big jacket. And then at the end of issue 18, she's seen wearing that Smoovian dress. From there onwards in the comics that I have available to me right now, she goes back to the jeans and the t-shirt. So I count about four different outfits for the first approximately 30 issues.
Poor Akiko indeed. So deprived... But then again, I remember being a fourth grader. You don't care much about what you wear.

I think I'm going to have Akiko wear shorts for the first time in the next Akiko novel from Random House. that'll be a first i think, though i'm not even sure! ---mark On the subject of Akiko's outfits...

as to akiko's other outfits, it's actually pretty funny as well:
the pajamas don't really exist - she just DREAMS she's wearing pajamas.
the jacket is borrowed: "as it turned out, he had coats for all of us. they were a little beat up, but we weren't going to complain."
and so is the dress: "they let me borrow some clean clothes just for the party. i didn't look half bad, either"
So, yep, poor poor akiko. wonder if she wears anything from issue 31-52? (i know she wears a dress in my story in #50, but that is borrowed too!)

Doesn't her robot show up wearing something different than Akiko has on in one of the issues? So the robot has more wardrobe changes than 'Kiko does!

Don't know about the robot, but Mark gives Akiko a little freedom in his shorts - I think in "Kiko Wiko" she actually wears a dress....

Just ran across this never published art from Matthew showing Akiko wearing the dress from #50 (and she's in Arialana's hair style, so no standard pigtails - but it IS Akiko) but yep - the dress is still borrowed - so I still wonder if I opened Akiko's closet, I'd see 17 pairs of jeans and 17 t-shirts - sort of like the Superman robots when Clark Kent opened his secret closet.
