Re-reading Noli me tangere on an i-pad feels different, but the story whether digital or print reminded me of these watercolors of Philippine life made by J. A. Karuth in the late 1850's. The Franciscan friar on the left resembles Padre Damaso, the Dominican (caption is wrong) on the right doesn't resemble any of the characters created by Rizal but Karuth drew them all, Jesuits and Agustinians, fat and round.
