--- Quote from: Tova on 05 May 2020, 19:38 ---Yeah, I still get confused with the changing appearances of Dora et al.
The clue to Emily's identity was in the fact that she started discussing computational linguistics, though. So, you were right... up to a point. 8-)

For me it was the smaller ear piercing, clothes choice, and she's taller.
EDIT: Also the fact that she brought in a theremin set.

Somehow, it's in character for Emily to buy a niche technological toy/musical instrument for Claire. For anyone else, one would assume it's some kind of ironic prank but, with Emily, you know it's 100% sincere and the result of thought-processes no-one else could hope to follow!
I'm pretty sure that Emily's small-talk with Melon. Don't ask me why; it just feels right. Analysis of Melon's response patterns may have even turned Emily's MSc into an MSc (hons)!
The best (and sometimes only) way to differentiate Emily and Dora is the shape of their eyes; I've got close to perfect first-glance recognition of her that way. That aside, Emily's clothes tend to be from a lighter and more 'summer' colour palette too.
Gus_Smedstad:
I had no idea what a Theremin was, hence that didn’t register. The only electronic instrument I knew by name was the Moog.
That Dora comparison chart is interesting. I’ve read the strips, of course, but it’s different to see them side by side. I almost feel like she’s regressed since strip 1653, become more cartoonish.
SinusPi:
Wow, I'd like to live in a future where you just buy a friend a Theremin as a simple congratulatory gift. They're around $100 on eBay, unless she got a really cheap build-it-yourself toy kit. :P

American Science and Surplus has a Mini Theremin Kit for only US$23.50.
