As for this comic…

Until now, Miranda had never been shown without a hat. Now we know the reason.

My wife was taken aback by this comic a little. “Wow, that baby is suddenly a few months older,” she noted. Which is true, I guess. This represents a soft time jump in the comic. Really, though, it’s just a matter of practicality. It’s well nigh impossible to draw or accurately depict the steady, slow development of a baby from teeny infant to toddler. It’s much easier to just go for the shorthand and draw the kid at a few key stages, skipping the in-between parts. Hey, at least it’s not as bad as soaps or sitcoms, where kids can grow up seemingly in a matter of days.

And for the record, both of my kids sported this unique, entirely natural hairstyle for a good while. They grew out of it, but the memories remain.
