I thought Pumpkin was a nickname as opposed to her formal name. I was uncertain on gender, but since I assumed Pumpkin was a nickname I was also leaning towards girl for that reason.
Pumpkin’s cheeks have G’s, so looking at the cast page, from left to right their cheek markings are G U N S H and I guess the Perfect One is supposed to be O’s where she’s blushing. So I guess the eldest sister must have T markings, to spell out GUNSHOT or SHOTGUN if you SHUFFLE them. Suddenly the comic’s title makes a little bit of sense.
I think it’s due to Rusche liking 70s/80s music references (Shotgun Shuffle is a song by KC & the Sunshine Band) and he wanted a comic name that he could get the domain for and didn’t want ${COMIC_NAME}comic.com/net/org but the whole actual name.
I don’t know if the fact that if you shuffle the order of the sisters’ birthmarks you can spell out shotgun is something he decided on immediately or later as a point in that direction as well.
I gotta say – not that it wasn’t good to begin with – but after having read the whole comic I can’t help but nothing how much the art has improved since the first one. Amazing!

Really, no one came back to comment on the very first comic? That’s kinda sad…

I considered it, but realized the temptation to post something that might turn into a spoiler would be too great.
Also: I used to think Pumpkin was a boy this far back.

I wonder if Rusche has ever considered redoing any of his earlier strips, just for fun.

Considering the time it takes to draw current comics, I’m guessing that’s a “one of these days” sort of thing for him.

Why is this called “Shotgun Shuffle”? From what I can tell, nothing to do with shotguns.

Noticed this when I was trying to find something unrelated.
Pumpkin here is flat, at the con arc she’s started to grow, and with the latest patreon stuff, she’s kinda exploded.

Because Pumpkin is a teenage girl, and apparently breast sizes explode relatively quickly in that family. Ellie comments on this during the Con arc.

The first Patreon arc (now all posted to the main site) covers an answer to this question now.
