It’s at this point that I started entering the Bobble-head phase of the comic.  For some reason, everyone had giant heads, and sometimes they had insanely large heads (these will be fixed).  this one, it’s noticeable, but not really horrible.  I should point out that part of it was intentional.  I grew up with Family Circus and Tumbleweeds, and any number of other comics where everyone in the strip had insanely large heads, and I was trying to keep up the tradition.  At least that’s what I tell myself when I look at most of these.

This comic begins the introduction of both Dead Bill and Scot’s sneaky suspicion that not everything in the O’Riordan/Davis household was exactly normal.  Despite not being a particularly popular character, Dead Bill was a useful plot device.  Since he floated around the house in a mostly harmless ghostly fashion, he had plenty of opportunities to observe the world and offer a nudge to people who needed one.  This will come up later.
