Fellow (Time) Travelers

Here is the infamous moment in "The Misery Chick" where we discover that the background guy nicknamed Shaggy (actually Dewey, according to Mr. O'Neill's seating chart in "Cafe Disaffecto") was a time traveler, visiting a football game with Tommy Sherman three years earlier, when Shaggy would have been 13 or so and in 7th grade.

Look closer, though. Every single person in the shot, except for the blonde in the foreground, is one of the background students present in Daria and Jane's classes in 10th grade, and they look exactly as they do three years later. Aside from Shaggy, we have (in the back row, left to right) the blonde girl who got a bad crystal ball reading from Barch in "Fair Enough," the kid in the blue jacket who sits a few seats behind Daria in some of her classes, and the Asian kid I think of as "Pink Shorts," who appears in "The Misery Chick" watching Tommy stride down the hallways. The red-haired girl on the front right is Kelly, who sits in the back of the room in Daria's first-season classes with Mr. O'Neill.

Yeah, so the animators botched it a little . . . or did they? Can some or all of Daria's classmates travel through time? Are Daria and Jane the only normal kids in the school? (Normal being a relative term here.)
