After all, why not? Why shouldn't I post a comic about a movie that came out in 2022?

Rose (reclining on a couch in a coffee shop, looking up and to the left, bored): So anyway, the only difference is that his kids all have four fingers for some reason, while all the other Na'vi have three.
Rose: I'm not, like, an Avatar geneticist. But I'd expect a Human-Na'Vi hybrid to be, I don't know, shorter? Less blue?
[Camera pans out to show Aya sitting next to her on the couch, looking at her hand.]
Aya: Ok, sure, but...
Aya: Why four fingers?
Rose: Uh, because that's the standard number of fingers for a person to have?
[Aya, skeptical, holding up three fingers and a thumb with her right hand]
Aya: FOUR fingers?
Rose (laughing, holding up her hand): No! Four fingers and a thumb.
Aya (dour): A thumb IS a finger.
Rose: I guess? But you wouldn't say that like, MICKEY MOUSE has four fingers.
Rose: He's got three fingers. The thumb is just assumed.
Aya: Why would we assume that?
Aya: Some people don't have thumbs!
