I’ve got to say they look like brother and sister.
No wonder he thinks her nose is cute. It runs in the family.
She doesn’t look too happy in the original here.
True. But at least she knows now that she has a cute nose.
It’s interesting how few changes were needed to age him to Uncle Sam. A little grey in the hair and eyebrows, a few wrinkle lines and he’s 40 years older. Still horny, but older.
Unfortunately, Dave, it’s also amazing how few changes it takes to age those of us who aren’t cartoon characters!
