You know Bouba and Kiki†?

Well, it turns out that @gemsmoke didn't.
So I asked them to, with no information beyond their names, draw Kiki and Bouba.

The original test involved identifying them from images without labels, making @gemsmoke's result bear even more weight.

Here's what they drew.

The effect holds.

If you aren't aware of Bouba and Kiki yourself, take a minute to imagine or even sketch each character.

I've hidden the reveals, which includes the originals as well as @gemsmoke's cartoons.

I've also finally printed my "kiki/bouba" versions of the photo policy badges that might work better for impaired colour vision
(edit: print files uploaded to Thingiverse & MakerWorld and I'll bring a batch to #39C3)
