WCDT Strips 2996-3000 (6th to 10th July 2015)

CaptainFish:
I quickly googled this and found that, at least at some point, Jeph does heights more relatively than holistically. So, it's kind of hard to establish a full chart unless the characters are in the same panel. I think it's why Faye's been drawn a lot shorter than Hannelore in some recent strips. He probably just prefers that relative scale, rather than it being a "true" size. I also remember something about him considering Hanners [slightly] taller than Marten in recent times, despite them starting around the same height.

I dunno if something's changed since then though.

Omega Entity:
Somewhere is a discussion about height where I -think- I had worked out a reasonable estimation of the characters present at the time.

I'd argue that Claire and Clinton are shorter than estimated here - I'd say Claire is more like 4 or 5, possibly 6 inches shorter than Marten. She's pretty petite, and shy o Faye by a couple of inches

I still say Dora's about the same height as Marten...

...as is Hannelore, with Marigold being 4-5" shorter:

Steve is maybe an inch taller than Marten, but no more than that, I'd say:

Sven is much taller than Dora:

And of course, no one's disputing that Tai is tiiiiny:

So, if Marten is average height (I'd say, 5'10"), that puts them as follows:

Marten 5'10"
Dora 5'10"
Faye 5'7"
Hanners 5'10"
Steve 5'11"
Sven 6'6" (being generous)
Marigold 5'5"
Tai 5' (5'2", tops)

--- End quote ---

Ah, there we go. This will probably work as a pretty accurate point of reference.

ReindeerFlotilla:
Sven is height reduced, and this version is more consistent with recent appearances. Good thing too, because  6'6' makes Wil like 6'9"
http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1753.

He's probably no more than 6'3"

If Hanners has officially become taller than Marten, then she should only be slightly shorter than Emily, because Emily's no more than 2 inches taller than Marten. (Maybe 3, but that's pushing it.) There's not a lot of room there and Hanners does still seem to be not quite on Emily's level in her last appearance.

Still, the Emily Clinton ratio is a bit smaller than the Marten Claire ratio, and it shouldn't be.  With plumage included, the Augustus Duo stand the same height. Both are reaching right about to their respective paramours' eyebrows, which is wrong, since Emily is taller than Marten.

Omega Entity:
Well, I did say I was being generous on Sven's height  :wink:
