I was rereading Saga last night, as one does, and realized something that I have never seen anyone point out before
I don't think Squire is Prince IV's biological son
Allow me to present my case:
Let's start with genetics. Most Bluebloods we've seen have rectangular heads, especially the higher up ones
Now take Prince IV and Princess Robot
They both have very rectangular heads. Squire however does not
Now you could argue that maybe that's just how the kids are, but Prince IV had the same head shape as a child as an adult
You might could also say it's a generational thing. But the lead singer we meet in #56 who is likely not that much older than Squire, also has a rectangular head. However you could also say this is because she's not royalty
Now lets talk about timeline.
This is all assuming that blueblood pregnancies are 9 months on average***
#1 Hazel is born. Prince Robot IV seemingly has just returned the day before, or even that day from 2 years at war
Due to his trauma from being at war he has trouble orgasming. This is the only time we know of that he's had sex with his wife since coming back
#2 Hazel is 3 days old. IV is sent to planet Cleave
#4 Hazel is about a week old
#5 Princess Robot tells IV that she's pregnant
#12 Princess Robot has a very noticeable baby bump. Baby bumps of this size usually don't show until the second trimester which is 4-6 months
#13 Estimating Hazel is about 1 month old, maybe even 2 or 3 if we're being generous.
#16 Her bump already looks slightly bigger. This is still around the time frame when they are still at the lighthouse
There was also this from #21 when IV is dreaming at Sextillion, that sort of stuck me
But if IV isn't Squire's father who is?!
Who's the only Blueblood that we've seen with a more circular head?
