It took me about three tries before I was sure I was parsing it right myself.

So, is that what he actually said, or is the wank report just paraphrasing in a slightly confusing way? Because as it is, I'm not sure whether he's congratulating himself on making the characters recognisable (which is how I read it), or whether he's congratulating himself on being so wildly unique and original that 'unrecognisible' is being passed off as a sign of artistic merit (what everyone up thread seems to be thinking).
