Oh oops didnt finished my thought... I’ve been thinking about Quentin and wondering if he was going to weigh in ... He worked really closely with Dahl and they literally created the way characters should work by sending ideas back and forth. Maybe the way he drew them influenced the adjectives and descriptions that Dahl used 🤷🏼‍♀️
