It's true.
The Twin Theory is confirmed.
Holy. Arceus.
I had my friend over and we started crying.
I hyped this up for almost a year, and it's true, it's really true.
Thank you, Alex Hirsch. You did it.

Additionally, though the number of fingers (I guess) are a phenotype, they are expressed from a genotype, which Lee would have to have as well. Although there are environmental influences on the phenotype, I am unsure what could have possibly happened in the womb for him to have an extra finger, seeing as how unlikely it is for him to have been injected with like, toxic waste or something.
Admittedly, this may be the point — Ford knows it's weird and that's why he's drawn to GF. Maybe all will be revealed later. I don't know, he might be an alien or whatever.
Frankly, that's the best explanation.
Also, there is no way Mabel and Dipper are identical (duh)
The best explanation is that they are just fraternal. People are looking too much into this. What suggests that they are identical?
I don't know, ask Zinkr7 :P

That they basically look exactly alike?
They look pretty similar, but the whole extra fingers thing is a stretch. I guess that could be the point?

No, they don't. Dipper and Mabel look more alike than them. If they look more alike than most siblings do (which they don't, if you ask me), that's because it's a cartoon, and in a cartoon if you want to draw relatives you just take the same character template and redraw the hair and clothes (see Soos and Reggie (Heck, THEY look more alike than the the Stans do)). Plus, they look nothing alike as children, and identical twins almost always look veeeeerrrrryyyy similar at least as children.
And even if you look past all that, how do you explain the finger thing? That's a gene. It doesn't spontaneously develop in the womb.
The finger thing is indeed a gene. To be specific, the finger-causing gene is the genotype, and the result (extra fingers) is the phenotype.
As it stems from the gene, Lee would have to have it.
I also forgot about Soos and Reggie. They're cousins! Also Mabel and Pacifica (and Pacifica's clique) all look super similar. That's cartoons for you.
I am still, however, going to leave this open by saying that the freakishness of Ford's fingers could be the point — maybe he is one of the GF mutants or something. Unlikely though
Also, can you guys help me out - who the heck is the Stan in Lee's flashback in Dreamscaperers? I started a post about it yesterday with pics and everything.
Slightly off topic, but pretty related.
I mean when this was posted it was already confirmed that they were brothers.
But even when it was confirmed and Stan said that the author was his brother, people still denied it. Like when they said that stan was still a drifter and not the real stan. :P
