    Kind of interesting how an artist visually and seamlessly morphs a character from having pretty realistic proportions, all the way to also representing said character as much shorter and more exaggerated, based on the needs of the strip / panel / gag.

    I may have first noticed that in The Flintstones, but you can also see it blatantly in modern manga, sometimes. Meanwhile, the brain and visual cortex do a fabulous job smoothing out such changes, to the point that we mostly don’t notice them, even when they’re pretty dramatic indeed.
