smallify?

The Duplex characters should talk to their artist about that.

“Smallify.” is that even a word?

Now they can start calling the strip “Potatoes.”

Did the newspaper poke Roscoe in the eye?

Poor Roscoe, getting woken out of sound sleeps for this!

Those noses are already pretty big

They BOTH have noses vastly disproportionate to their other facial features. The way they’re drawn? Those noses are half a baked potato each. Imagine half a baked potato sticking out of your face!

Art is for the young at heart.

It makes a nice bifocal point…it keeps his glasses on his face.

If everyone is looking at the nose, they’ll ignore the rest of the drawing.

Just make the mustache bigger to balance the sketch.

Don’t look in the mirror Opal…….. you MIGHT not like what you see.

Love the dog!

Even if his nose was not drawn larger than normal (or to scale), it would still be big enough to be a focal point.

Smallify and embiggen are perfectly cromulent words. – Lisa Simpson (I think).

A huge proboscis doesn’t make a focal point in a sketch.

just put a kleenix in his hand and say he blew it up

Earl: “You’ve been bending my ear for all these years, and now this!”

He should meet Darryl from Baby Blues.

She shouldn’t brag too much.

It’s that or nose hairs, Earl!

Not a new word:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Dunn_and_the_Smallifying_Machine

Ask Monica Lewinsky. I bet she may recall a familiar looking one, as unlikely as it may be.

Why is Roscoe winking?

Now that I look at it, Earl’s nose is pretty big. Especially in panel three lol.

both Opal and Earl have bigger noses then Roscoe.

I was reading a story on Yahoo news about the IRS trying to hire more employees. It said that the IRS “onboarded” X number of new hires….

Opal’s nose isn’t that small either.
