Buffy comic - Rockwell or Ladybird?

This is the cover to Buffy issue 20 by Jo Chen. Lovely isn't it?

On her blog she mentions the Norman Rockwell type feel she was after. I imagine that works well for those American folks. But all I thought of was the Ladybird images I grew up with:

From The Carnival, art by M Aitchison. You can even buy these as prints now from the Ladybird Prints website and there's a great website on all things Ladybird called the wee web. Worth a look just as a excuse for nostalgic wallowing.
