Is it cold in here?:
Isn't it a relevant bit of discussion of Jeph's art to look at how he has distributed intelligence, courage, good looks, and everything else among the characters? And how he's not bestowed hyper-intelligence on any of the men?

Relevant, but wrong. Sven had the kind of mind that can coast through school easily. At the rarefied heights of intelligence, Hannerdad and Station have prominent places.

Penquin47:
There's also Clinton, who hasn't been shown to be a supergenius or anything, but probably is highly intelligent.

Why did I click that link? I knew I was going to regret it. 'scuse me while I go and claw out my eyes.

All organic matter on the planet has been through that particular cycle, multiple times.*
Is the additional abstraction afforded by more steps comforting to you?  Or the idea that one process is "natural", while another involves human action?  (Though again, that's been true of meat production for most of human history.)

* and before that, it was part of the protoplanetary nebula, and before that, various stars, including at least one supernova.

St.Clair:
(separate post for separate topic)

And yet, for all that intelligence, they are all quite capable of being idiots.
Which is, in my experience, entirely true to life.

jheartney:
Didn't mean to start a discussion of relative intelligence of genders. Just noting that the ordinary guys in this strip tend to be goofballs. Probably HannerDad is highly intelligent too, but I suspect his daughter is even smarter, albeit emotionally troubled.

Sven's one of those people who cruise through life without trying very hard. Dunno that this shows general intelligence so much as just luck. Plenty of highly intelligent folks have a rough time of it day to day, while some not terribly bright bulbs seem to have it easy.
