A Difference in Size

There are a lot of differences between them that are very fun to point out and do things with. And I'm only talking appearance here. The feet, obviously. I swear I've developed a bit of a fetish for feet since I started drawing Sideshow Bob o boy...

And the height. I never noticed just how short Mel is till the ep where Marge is the Listen Lady. Mel goes to her for help about his disturbing dreams, and she takes him aside (that part was so irresistibly cute), and he was shorter than her.

Why would these two get together? Well, it's tough being with someone, like Bob, that you have ot be on guard around all the time. And sometimes you need to spread your wild oats. Also, I definitely see Cecil as a dominant person when he is in his element. He's the strong but silent type. He's pretty effeminate and can be submissive, but with the right person, like Mel, I think a different side of him would shine through.

Plus, I'm sure he has a mean fetish for the Sideshows, being obsessed with the whole thing. A love/hate relationship with Bob, being jealous of him, etc. All that obsession and hatred has to be channeled somewhere.

And Mel? Poor baby needs love, too. xD
