You don’t see this on television or in the movies much, but right after a woman gives birth, there’s not really a dramatic change to her shape. She still looks pregnant; she just looks … less pregnant. In many cases, though, the dramatic change does occur over the following week or two. For my wife, she was actually back to her original weight and wearing her regular clothes by the time she left the hospital. With the first kid, anyway.
NB: Miranda has her hat pulled down over her eyes, making her look a little like Donald from the old Fat Albert cartoon show. My son did this all the time when he was a newborn. He’d somehow pull the hat down every time we put one on, like he preferred it that way. It’s just one of those weird little details from real life which I felt I needed to include.

It's a little challenging to draw that 'just pregnant' look, but I think it worked. Thanks!

When I was young, I always thought the lump went away when the baby was born..

A common misconception.

I think that shirt gave him some false confidence to say something like that.

Mr. T gives you the confidence to be a foo.

He's a special, endearing kind of stupid.

Poor Colin. It's not his fault his brain moves slow.

It's not Colin's fault that you're smarter than him.

Colin bravely asks the questions the rest of us are too cowardly or polite to. how else is one to learn these things without asking?
cute detail with the hat. it amazes me how fast a baby will start to develop those lil personality quirks.

Hey, the scientific mind is always curious. Nothing wrong with that.

Well, some women never do ... though that won't be the case for Puck.

Fictional (comic) pregnancies almost always go off without a hitch, and fictional women always get back their pre-pregnancy figure. Always. I guess that's sort of silly, but there you go.

huh. kool to know for the future though.

Unlikely. I've heard it's just swelling and such.

Ha-ha, I always wondered what happens when a space that large is suddenly vacated. And then when you're a firsthand witness to childbirth it's all so strange it kind of doesn't matter anymore.

I've heard from a few women that they sometimes actually feel their organs shift en masse back down into their abdominal cavity, and it's the weirdest, grossest feeling on Earth. I'll take their word for it.

I never heard that before *shudder* Poor lass who goes through that!

Ah good old Puck.. I think Miranda's first word's will be ' Bandaid'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I doubt Puck would turn her rage toward her own child. She usually only attacks full-grown men. It's more sporting.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh I agree.. I meant more in the ' Time to go get daddy another bandaid' way.

He's asking a dangerous question there. A medical textbook will clue him in on more than he'd ever want to know.

But Colin will always seek out knowledge in the stupidest of ways.

Ah, good question! And thanks for the post-pregnancy inside by the way. The pulled down baby hat makes her look like a real badass
P.S. the Puck Halloween costume is awesome!!!!

I wore costumes like that when I was a kid. I remember being vinyl Tenderheart Bear and vinyl Pete's Dragon. I think my brother was vinyl Optimus Prime one year. It was a glorious era for flammable materials.

I think I'll probably use that for another "things to avoid when you're on fire" thingie

I'm not even surprised anymore at the sheer stupidity of Colin. Not for not knowing about the whole thing about Puck's stomach not going flat, but for the fact that he was dumb enough to mention it to her.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Colin is incredibly stupid, or at the very least does incredibly stupid things. Mainly because the comic would stop being funny if he didn't.

It's not very fun. And you gotta stay for at least a few weeks.

There are some situations where having your hat pulled down over your eyes and pretending to be asleep, could be really useful.

I've found it pretty useful as a strategy myself.

Gosh I feel as if I learn new things about pregnancy from these comics

I bet you learn that you never want to actually have a kid, right?
