    “Lack of skill” is a bit harsh… the artist used the “mirror” tool as a time saving measure. Doing anything else would require redrawing most of the creature in a new pose, and I don’t really feel like it’s necessary for this comic

      It is a bit harsh but I don’t think it’s wrong. The more skillful artist would know not to use the mirror tool. If they wanted to save time, they could have flipped the other guinea pig drawing they’ve done (the one of it heading into the shop) and used that for the guinea pig looking into the glass. (The interior would need to be redone still, but not the outline, legs and ear)
