Haley looks like she is missing some sleep too.

Or she is really not a morning person

I don’t like how the new color palette white-washes so many characters and makes them look too similar. I miss a bit more variety in designs, especially when seeing a family scene like this where even though all the characters are the same color - gray - they usually had some notable variance in the tone of gray, or at least had very distinctive outfit colors. Just one fan’s opinion. I know a big part of the decision had to be behind them moving across the world, but it still makes me a bit sad. So much personality for the individual characters is lost since the color story isn’t there.

While it doesn’t really bother me i think this is valid critisisme of the new style

I could see somebody reading this before having their morning coffee and wondering why Lucy is in Mike’s house and what did they do to her bow

Yeah I wish there was some element to the coloring style that made more of a distinction between “gray” and “white”, Haley ends up looking so much like Lucy just with a different hairstyle and bow placement. Adding a few darker shades to the limited palette might help a lot, idk 😅 just my uninformed 2¢

I 100% thought that very thing 😭

“What’s Lucy doing here?? And why’s her bow by her ear???”

“Ticket Please,” as in, tickets to Haley beating up Mike for not taking care of himself and worrying their mom? One can dream.

This whole family is such a mess omg, but at least it seemed like the little we saw of Mike babysitting recently he seemed to be having a good enough time. Do it for Chris, at least keep yourself in shape for your baby brother, Mike 🙃

Yeah, don’t worry, Mike will for sure be back home tonight. There for sure isn’t that possibility that he will leave town before or after school. His destination? Whoknowsville.

Haley’s annoyed that her mom praises Michael for taking care of Chris while she never got that treatment. Something something gendered expectations

Mike getting the golden child treatment, whereas its just an expected duty of Haley’s life.

I really hope Haley isnt just hating how her mom treats Mike and is frowning because she’s seeing the red flags from her brother. Honestly that would be such a good development to see for the two siblings.
