is female characters all being rectangles a flatland reference? all the women are lines in that book. its not quite the same i suppose?

It’s a good question! Certainly the author was familiar with Flatland. Later strips go a bit into how T&R’s polygon society views people differently based on shape, but the way that works is pretty different, and gender is hardly ever directly addressed. My guess is there’s some Flatland influence here, but we may never know for sure.

The vast majority of the strip’s characters are male, so it’s not very surprising that the convention for markedness works out this way.
