I just figured Edie’s transparent front-hair was actually transparent. (And possibly two solid chunks rather than made up of individual strands, too.) Particularly since those sections had thicker outlines than the rest of her hair; I figured they were different from her regular hair.

One of these days, I want to understand this trope of transparent front-hair. Edie appears to have a more severe case than most, but it seems like any character with the right artist influences will have bangs, tails, or other forehair that is completely transparent where it comes between the "camera" and any feature of interest, most particularly the eye.

I hope and pray that isn't Garfield standing next to the two-headed guy....

In the last panel, it looks a little like Edie's head is transparent, and we're seeing the railing through her head. It's just the temple of her glasses, but it's an odd illusion.

@Sean Riedinger: Do you really think age can be discerned by external appearance in THE FUTURE?

Also, most people Shaenon draws tend to have neotenous tendencies, so it is sort of difficult to tell.

Are you going to get the Five vs Four mixup (the one that you said you were going to fix in the archives) fixed in the Director's Cut?

I don't know about Edie, but I think her luggage is a descendant from The Luggage. I also like the two-headed tourist (3rd strip, panel one).

Yup, I always loved Edie, would love to see more of her.
