Looking at this cartoon, it strikes me anew how much Janis and Gene have changed in appearance over the years. Their faces always are the same, practically. If I can remember to do so, I try to give Gene’s nose less delicate treatment, but otherwise mother and son perpetually mirror one another in some weird symbiosis. They have changed a lot over time, while Arlo’s appearance has changed little since the early formative strips.
