I also really enjoyed this post, and specifically thought that the illustrations were much nicer than what's been done before.
However, I did notice that out of all the illustrations that were made for this post, there were about 8 male characters drawn, and 0 females. (The first picture of the Sally-Anne test did portray females, but it was taken from another source, not drawn for this post like the others.) In the future, it might be a good idea to portray both men AND women in your illustrations. I know that you personally use the "flip a coin" method for gender assignment when you can, but it doesn't seem like the illustrator does (There IS a 0.3% chance that the coin flips just all came up "male" for the drawings)
I hadn't noticed about their sex, but I did notice that they all seem to be children and no adults (EDIT: except the professor in the last picture). (BTW, the character with dark hair, pale skin, red T-shirt and blue trousers doesn't obviously look masculine to me; it might as well be a female child (too young to have boobs).)
