You have no idea how much the window thing bugged me from the start. I even included a sperate image of just that part as a comment on my Twitter and Bluesky posts.
I always thought that kind of quirk was amusing, especially when Grandpa Nutmeg & wife are at the window, in which case there’s really no other way to explain the visual other than to conclude that the characters are simply cardboard cutouts.
Grandma’s lower body is clearly inside the house, but there she is standing straight upright (i.e. not bending forward), and somehow her *upper* body is in front of the window frame, with the window being half-open.
Physically, it really only works if she’s made out of thin cardboard.
This one is great both original and your edit. I love that you put the kids head inside the window.

Yeah it’s happened before but this case seemed particularly glaring.
I agree, but like I say, it gets even more ridiculous sometimes. Or at least it has in the past. Check this out:

Oof. That one is definitely worse
