There's also a neat Heavy/Medic comic up on their account.

From what I've heard, Valve -loved- that picture, and apparently they're using that as their design for the Announcer.

Never noticed she's smoking her cigarettes backwards... but she's fucking batshit insane. What do you expect?

There is actually a brand like that...
They're really cheap, shitty, and smell horrid, however.

I notice that the cigarette has been changed between the OP image, and that last DA link!
