Over-analyzing
Since it seems to be 'women: should we try to understand them?' week, I thought I would attempt an insight into the female (my) way of thinking. Now, read the following, and tell me if anything strikes you as odd:
My first reaction was: OMG, Lil' Jinx's daddy is not sleeping in the same bed as Mrs. Jinx, their poor couple has issues! Upon further reflection, I realized that maybe showing Mr. Jinx lonesome in a twin bed was a more 'politically correct' image for young readers. Then I started wondering, have we ever really seen Mrs. Jinx? Does she even exist? What exactly is Mr. Jinx hiding from poor Lil' about his troubled married life? Is he a wife-beater? Is he gay? Or, when he says "Mother", is he in fact referring to his own mum and has he never moved out from his house? A simple comic conceals so much...

I bet he had his daughter with his own mother, and the bed we see is in his old room at home. his daughter is not yet old enough to ask questions, but it is dawning on him that the day will come when she will be. "daddy, how come mommy's so old? how come I got no grannie?"
boy, would I hide.
OMG! I can't stop laughing.. that analysis of lil jinx' existance was priceless :-) Were paternity tests available during the time of lil jinx? That should sort out a LOT!
@ jonathon: Thats dreadful !! :-) hilarious, but dreadful!
Although, it would explain several of lil jinx' peculiarities!
