There is no physical equivalence across images of the "same" character, electronically depicted or fabricated through print. The implication arising from this is that characters of fiction cannot be signified or referenced without interpretive agency on the part of the individual observer. Any meaning obtained from a perceived character signification is purely subjective, comparable to pop-feminists howling about how otherwise mundane actions are deliberate instances of subversion. When you enter value or inherent meaning - idiosyncrasies of the psyche of a chimp - into the framework of any sort of social theory you've immediately rendered your attempt intellectually worthless.
