Notice that one of the twins is wearing short sleeves and the other long sleeves? I mentioned considering making this their permanent attire in a recent strip.
Since the twin under the blanket doesn't have a brand-new arm, I figured she wouldn't be very interested in moving it around or showing it off, so she's wearing long sleeves. I've actually considered making this part of their permanent attire.
They're talking about this strip, if you can't remember.
Since people, when they get new/replacement limbs/body parts, they appear to want to move them around as much as they can, I made Heidi move her arms around a bit more than she normally would have. I also decided to have her wear short sleeves, as though she's showing her new arm off.
Wow, I...didn't really realize that 17 kilograms was actually almost 37.5 pounds when I did this strip...maybe I should've stuck with "17 pounds" like in the original sketch.
This happened to me not too long ago. All of these objects broke within a WEEK's time span. Although, not quite in this order. My order was actually whiteboard (which actually wasn't a whiteboard), stereo, sweat pants, pen.
I figured this may also work in a daily strip, due to the HEAVY amount of beat panels, but I later reasoned that making it a Sunday made it funnier, as it displayed the length of the staring contest better. Also, I think Lily's hair got longer near the end of the second row.
