A Question of Altitude

Not to press the point too much about Daria being stumpy or anything, but this is another shot from Tainted Meat, part of the B&W class photo taken with Daria in the front row. Beavis is off-screen scratching himself. We have a nice shot of the two Kimberlys, Butt-head, and even part of Cassandra at left. Punk Kimberly is a head taller than Daria, who was probably about 5'1" here (she grew an inch in Lawndale, I assume). The Kimberly in back, and Butt-head too, are standing on risers so we can't tell how tall they are compared to Daria, exactly.

Anyway, just an interesting thought. Wonder what Daria thought about being shorter than everyone else. She looks like such a little thing. I don't recall much being said about this in fanfic.

Well, since Daria's height is given as 5'2" in Lane Miserables, it would stand to reason that she's around 5'1" in that picture. If we employ anime math where adolescent bodies are 6 heads tall, Punk!Kimberly is 7 heads tall. Therefore, P!K is around 5'11".

Kinda tall for someone who's supposedly 14ish.
