One plothole I've been thinking about is Millie. If Locke is her father, and is from Ega (the reverse-aging world) and he gets younger, then what will happen to Millie? Will she continue to grow old? Or will she stop at a certain age, and suddenly start growing younger?

Maybe the reverse age thing only happens while you're on that side, or the reverse-ageing gene is recessive..

No, because apparently Locke would have continued to grow younger, whether he went back or not, apparently since Llewellyn had to tell Ms Mudd about it...

Hm - I never considered this. Perhaps it depends on the frame you were born in? Either way, I don't think it matters, considering the fact that they don't age in the strips anyways.<br><br>But good thought.

My terminology has caught on! Now it is only a matter of time before....<br>Uh...<br>What?<br>Erm....moving on......<br><br>I think the whole reverse-aging concept is somewhat of a moot point, as it's been established that the characters don't really age, except for when DCS wants them too. It's a fantasy world, it doesn't have to follow the rules of our world. Who knows? Maybe it's almost always in a time-dilation bubble, ala Star Trek. Or some other badly defined science fiction phenomenon.

yeah, I know they don't age (except when they went from 8 to 10), but thought it was an interesting point...

I figured it had nothing to do with genetics, but rather which world you were born in.<br><br>So Millie will be fine.

we already know that millie was younger in the past, the real plothole is, giving birth to a grown person.

but they age backwards, so they don't <i>die</i>
