Continuity error?

Talk about today's strip, or anything about the comic in general. You can also talk about any of the characters... but don't expect a response. They're FICTIONAL, you guys... sheesh. :)

Continuity error?

Post by Jon_S » Fri May 14, 2004 3:29 am

I just noticed something in the April 28th comic.

In the first three panels, the logo is on the left side of Greg's shirt.

But in the fourth panel, Greg turns around, and the logo is still on the left side! Since when is anyone in this comic ever able to turn around without having all their clothes and hairstyles suddenly flipping to the other side? Greg's hair and the buttons on his shirt all switch sides like normal, yet the logo is somehow magically exempt from this? Huh?

Don't worry, that happens all the time in Greg Universe.

The reason he got up was to change into his shirt with the logo on the other side.... He just didn't include that panel. Yeah... that's it.

Hrm.. Look at it closely and figure it in your mind. The logo is in the correct position still. The buttons though... but didn't you hear ? There are NO continuity errors.
Meh !

There can be no continuity error if there is no continuity. :)

Hmm...so he's wearing a woman's shirt for the first three panels, then he changes to a man's shirt?

Find any shirt belonging to a man and woman. It's true.

from the tongue that just stabbed through the side of his cheek (ouch!) I think he was commenting on the fact that while Greg fixed the minute detail of the logo, the rest of him is clearly mirrored. ie, his buttons are on the other side of his shirt and his hair is parted on the other side. As I learned from an old episode of Animaniacs in my youth, there is only one way to treat this sad case of overattentiontodetailitis. *reaches for comically oversized mallet behind back*

Just out of curiosity, Jonn, is it the side of the buttons that distinguishes the two?

*Rereads what Jon_s said* :lol: My bad, I read it too fast the first time.

On the buttons on different sides for men's and women's shirts: It has something to do with the fact that way back in the day, men would button their own clothes but women would be buttoned up by servants. Or something like that. It assumes right-handedness.
