Kristen Howell is Columbus' answer to Frida Kalo, and the similarities between the two are striking, although Kristin has much more attractive eyebrows.

Nor, it should be noted, is Kristen Mexican, a communist, nor a revolutionary. She does draw very nicely, though.

Kristen's great strength lies in her preternatural ability to believe absolutely everything she reads or is told. Moreover, and to her great credit, she somehow manages that feat even when confronted with wildly differing claims.

The rest of the troup stands in awe of her.
