Love the messy piano/keyboard in the background. Looks like auntie Gemma haven't played for a while. Doesn't look like she's going to very soon, especially if those are unopened bills on the music desk.
The fact that it's Anna's piano makes this funnier to me, because it's so easy to forget that Anna even plays piano at all at this point it might as well be Gemma's piano!
Are Gemma and her family people of Japanese descent? If they are, then that makes an interesting contrast against Tilly.
He doesn't seem like too deep of a thinker at first glance, but that could just be a mix of parental exhaustion and excitement. Going out to somewhere that he isn't constantly required to mind the suicide machine could be making him more singleminded than normal.
If you ever do TopWebcomics vote incentives, Gemma's audition tape should be one! :-D
Also, that setup is classic comedy gold!
Surely soon the baby will crawl off without them noticing, and of course straight towards something very dangerous!
Are you sure that's a vote "incentive" you're talking about? It doesn't look like Gemma's performance career took off, so I'm drawing a near-blank on why we'd want that audition tape. The best I can come up with is that you're hoping for a pic of Gemma looking cringeworthy; maybe as a brace-face, having a zit constellation, painted in hilariously overdone makeup, and dressed in an embarrassingly ill-considered and/or expired-trendy outfit.
Most ideas are cheap, and I love giving them away as party favours to people who can make something of them. Also, anything I can do to help these "cool" siblings embarrass each other permanently (not to mention themselves both directly and indirectly) seems like it's good for a laugh.

I'll be generous and say he's running on two hours of sleep, but I don't know enough about his character yet to know if he's just like that.

Perhaps just the pic would be better?
