But Billy did grow over the years, even if it was not intentional.
Even though he was supposed to be always 8 years old, at the beginning of the strip’s run he resembled a kindergartener and at the end he looked like he could be 10 to 12 years old.
Part of it had to do with body proportions: at the beginning his head was proportionally much bigger, like a baby’s or Disney character’s head, and at the end the head was smaller and the body slimmer.
