She has a less boyish figure.

--- Quote from: pwhodges on 12 Oct 2009, 09:57 ---Marten looks to me not so much larger today (though he has been looking hunkier of late) as more padded - as in having a jumper under his hoodie, which we can see, and which he doesn't normally wear. Is the weather still cold out in QC land, do you think?

Seeing as QC land is a fictionalized Northampton, Massachusetts, I'd say it's just getting cold out-not so much "still" cold out. Also, as the comic takes place in the good old U.S. of A., it would be kind of odd for Marten to be wearing a 'jumper' unless Dora and Tai finally talked him into some gender-bending experimentation.
edit: I've just realized that almost all of my posts here are (to some degree) about the varying pronunciation and meaning of words across cultures.

--- Quote from: D on 12 Oct 2009, 00:23 ---I understand that this is a comic, but since this is about human beings acting (mostly) like human beings, having the characters looking like human beings shouldn't drag this into the uncanny valley.

Shrug. i guess its mainly that throughout all the changes in the art, the characters have generally had disproportionately large eyes.
hanners and tai particularly, were very very expressive with their eyes.
also, its the first time i've not liked a change in the art, of which there have been many, so i'm probably going to have to whine about it a bit.
Border Reiver:
Cue all the discussions on the changing artstyle.
Me, I was going to comment on the mindless "Buy Dad a tie for Father's Day" thing. Hopefully, my lads go with the less mindless, "Buy Dad a beer he hasn't had before." when the time comes - Much more thoughtful

Alternate punchline for 10/12 comic:
"The traditional Father's day present is also a corset."
