Oh, OK. Massive pronoun confusion, that's all.

I'd argue the other way. The pommel and grip are nearly identical. So is the length and shape of the blade. Only the quillons are drawn slightly longer in today's strip.
Now to be really nit-picky:
* The grip is too small. It should be large enough for a man to use both hands, if needed. Faye's one hand nearly covers it. She'll loose the weapon after the third slash atack when the vibration of striking bone starts to get into her tendons.
* They'd better get a thicker stone. She's gonna shave a thumb off.

That's what she said!
Sorry. And yes, I know what quillons are, and how to pronounce it.

I honestly don't know, whether I should be impressed or terrified by the fact that even today the effects of striking bone with a broadsword are still known in detail. Not to mention that a person in possession of that bit of information shares the same forum with me.
Mind you, in my rogue-like game of choice 'broadsword' and 'two-handed sword' are separate items. The latter is heavier, so cannot be wielded by all the characters, but also makes more damage. This, of course, is completely irrelevant to your point.

Reading waaay too much into that strip. Like it's impossible for kids to take their looks from people other than their parents. The gene pool is bigger than that, people!
