he also likes radio head...


I dunno, DCS's age projectionss of her characters just seem like they're radically different from how she would have aged them five, seven years ago... DCS feels like more of a 2 dimensional person

I can't help but notice that at no point in Avery's life does he consider pants.

1st is a Timulty clone, 2nd is cute, 3rd is cool, 4th is bizarre and yet strangely funny.

Well, he's a raccoon. They're always drawn kinda pudgy, it's part of why we like them. However, I mainly noticed the facial expression in the 4th panel, which may give an explanation for being a bit pudgy: He does NOT look happy. With both the Millie one, as well as Avery, it's interesting to look at how the images show their personality at the time. In Avery's case, it looks like he started like all tots do, and especially Timulty. Second picture shows him as he appeared in O&M: Pretty much a dork, who doesn't seem to understand that for all his attempts at looking cool, being desperate doesn't help... and neither does that sweater. In the third panel, he's got it! The tussled hair, the cool jacket, the look of awesome apathy, he's a cool teenager. And then in the 4th panel he's just got a simple t-shirt, looking a little pudgy, and has a look of "uh-oh" on his face. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say like most cool kids he got a girlfriend. And the love of his life turned out to be the type that yells a lot over little things, and he's currently being yelled at right now. Here's hoping the cubs are worth it.

The last one is totally him taking the Ricky path and getting fat living in a trailer park off of welly and various illegal ventures.

I like the 4th stag of Avery. It looks like he gave up trying to be something he was not and accepted himself for who he is.

It looks like if the new Avery was asked about being cool and trendy he would reply…F*** THAT!

I'm going to pretend the oldest Avery is actually an amateur radio operator.

He looks like a pretentious loser with a desk job to me.

And suddenly Avery wasn't so cute anymore :(

But actually I kinda like it. I like his third transition the best. I think she shoulda used that more than what she actually went with. But maybe it's just me.
