Do you ever look at Mike Chilton and think, “With his square face he’d be really easy to render in cross stitch?” Just me then?

Gravity Falls makes a big deal about one of the characters having 6 fingers on each hand, but completely ignores the fact that half the cast only has four.

I spent half a season trying to figure out if it signified anything. It just seems to be based on size. Smaller hands=fewer fingers

#motorcity #They missed the chance to have the Burner Headquarters in Sherwood Forest #I spend way too much time analyzing cartoons
