An unaging baby character hits different in a comic that so heavily idolizes childhood.

Julet Esqu posted:When I say that Team Evans may be trying to portray making nice with her abuser as the "right" thing for Tiff to do, I am not saying that I think the power of Tiff's kindness will make Anne come around, or that her dad will suddenly realize that Tiff is nice and Anne is mean and dump Anne, or that Team Evans will make it come out well for Tiff at all. Team Evans HATE giving Tiff nice things. I suspect this is one of those toxic "everything is JUST FINE" families where the person speaking up about being treated badly is a worse offender than the one doing the treatment; my parents were kind of like that. (If I complained about being physically hurt by my older and much larger brother, I was "hateful" for trying to get him in trouble.) It's the same logic followed by boomers and CHUDs who claim that pointing out instances of racism is just "being divisive" and "bringing race into everything". Anyway, here some characters who are SUPPOSED to be monsters: Scary Gary ![]() ![]()

On one end Ann Eiffel has always been presented as unsubtly monstrous and unsympathetic but on the other end what other resolutions are there? Miscarriage? Short sighted fake pregnancy? She gets outed as a cheater? None of these would be satisfying.

She's not even pregnant and that is actually a scan of an unrelated child that she bought off eBay.

I'm assuming that silly-looking New York Bowling Team coat was also in the original? Just something the whippersnappers thought was cool because it was printed in English? edit: and while I'm at it...

It used to be kind of an informal rule that if people had the means to look ahead they would keep that poo poo to themselves. I liked that rule.

It's less nice when you think about how blatantly she later portrays it as good for Michael and Elizabeth to grow up into her again while judging every adventurous decision Elizabeth and April make (not to mention the whole Michael and Lynn's real son thing).
