I remember on the first series of “Infinity Train” that a kid remembered when her family was riding in the car they’d sing Cameo’s “Word Up.” At least it wasn’t “Wheels On The Bus.”
To be fair: in this strip Lena looks no older than four.
I wonder: is it deliberate that she is always depicted way to short compared to adults? On her own she looks very well twelvish (e.g. in the title-graphic)
Yes, it is a deliberate exaggeration. Although to be honest, consistency may not have been the best in the early strips – I didn’t have much of a plan in mind when I first started drawing Lena, and I hadn’t quite made up my mind yet about her size.
Kid entertainment: the bane of kidhood.
