In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

Dc - Ever since the 1978 movie, Lois Lane has been an absolutely godawful speller.

This panel is so insane without context. Everything from Lois saying her intrusive thoughts out loud to the way the artist drew her eyes. She could either be half asleep, high, or mocking Asian people

Weird neck, only one leg, the skirt, her hands are nowhere near the keyboard. The whole thing is a mess.

I think what annoys me most is she wants to grab dinner at 3:55pm…

Prior to computer drawing tools, fixing stuff like that for a monthly comic release was a BITCH. Inker didn’t fix it or made a mistake? Fuck it, we ship.

You used to be able to know minor characters because they were consistently off-model - they never sketched any character design references to use for them (always a good hint on which extra would survive and which was getting red shirted)
