There is something seriously wrong with this artwork. The mother has some sort of... freak mutant crotch... her pelvis and her legs are just at crazy odds. The only way I can make any sense of it is to imagine that is a white glowing triangle on the front of her pants. And her lower right leg looks like it was snapped off at the knee...
And the daughter looks like she has her underwear pulled down to her knees. (I know, I know, those are knee socks, but what has been seen cannot be unseeeeeeeen)
Seriously, did Penny Arcade draw this up in 5 seconds?
First thing I noticed was her nose... I mean what's going on with that?
Then I saw the crotch... I get that it's a heavily stylised representation of a female figure and that's just Gabe's style anyway, but like you say, some of it just looks unnecessarily off.
Sadly the snapped knee and girl with dropped underwear are things that I am now seeing thanks to your oh-so insightful comment...

lets be honest I excpect most people will just buy them anyway, I was in GAME yesterday and saw about 2 parents buying 15's for their kids that where about 7 or 8,
Not even a good game!
Haha! I know that feeling, the amount of times I would rather warn fellow shoppers that they are buying a BAD game rather than one that is far too mature for their kids.
My parents would always go in the shop and buy GTA games for me when I was like 14/15 and those games are rated 18. Curious how they never even questioned the content or put up any resistance. Guess I just got lucky in the parent department there. They don't understand video games but they've never considered them dangerous either.
