From my experience, I always associate hair ruffling with indirect, usually unintentional condensation. As if they're treating you like a kid. I find it incredibly annoying when people do that. I'm like, I'm in my bloody 20s dammit! :psyduck:
Which goes back to point of sisterly relations. I still can't see beyond Dora's treatment of Tai as a cute little butch sister. The sudden sexy redhead remark seems out of place from Dora. :-\

Aah. All right, I guess people associate things like that differently. I don't see much of a difference between hair ruffling, hair stroking, and the like. It all strikes me as cute and fairly intimate. But meh, that's just me.
Oh gosh. I just realized. If Jeph shows those two in post-coitus, it's gonna majorly squick out a good chunk of the readers, isn't it? "Cute little butch sister smexytimes" isn't what most people want to get out of a comic strip xD

Yes, please stop talking about Marten Lawrence. How that dude manages to keep getting movie roles is beyond me.

I'll be honest, thinking about condensation occurring because of hair-ruffling makes me feel kind of gross. :psyduck:
But, assuming you were thinking of condescension, I would generally agree, but sometimes it can be used as an act of endearment. :-P

My wife's hair would grow in curly after chemos. So did that of a woman I sang with. I enjoyed running my hand across the heads of both. Both accepted it as a loving gesture.

Sorry, but after reading a few threads in different forums with spelling mistakes, this one just tripped my inner grammar nazi. I apologize.
