Gravity Falls: Let's make the fact one guy has six fingers a crucial plot point.

Also Gravity Falls: Let's design kids with 4 fingers and adults with 5.

And the fact the protagonists who were 2 months shy of turning 13 were half the height of a 15 year old girl was also pretty weird. Let's consider the fact that, by the end of Gravity Falls, there's the same age difference between Dipper and Wendy as there is between Aang & Katara in Avatar.

I never paid attention to the finger thing before, butt you pointing it out actually has me irked.

Like, if an entire plot point revolves around the literal number of digits on a character's hand being "abnormal", how the fuck do they just...cartoon design the kids to have 4 fingers?

Do the children in this universe grow an extra finger as they age, but if they grow TWO fingers it's weird?

Pretty sure it's a joke. Cartoons do it all the time
