Yes, probably "the guy" (or the work of "the guy" in general) more than 
"the story" was the representative. In the book Vicar represented the 
90es, and in a situation where I had to place you and Vicar in the 
categories "the 90es" and "the new century" I think I'd done likewise. 
Although we saw your Lo$ series and many other stories in the 90es, we 
were presented with a *huge* number of good-quality stories drawn by 
Vicar. There were probably not many weeklies that didn't have a story 
drawn by either Vicar or Branca during the entire decade. And being 
representative of "the new century" is probably not so bad either, eh? 
(I guess they expect to see more from you in the future :-)
