** That's ridiculous. Paige was 5 years old when she waved the teddy bear at Jason. The teddy was then lost for approximately 9 years as it is covered in dust when Paige finds it and briefly reminisces about her 'Grizzly-Poo'. The teddy bear was a very mild form of harassment, especially given the character's respective ages. If Jason still holds a grudge over something that happened when he wasn't even a year old, then that kid needs counseling. If anything, it's Disproportionate Revenge for him to wave an iguana at her constantly, taunt her appearance, and draw humiliating comic strips that cast Paige as the villain (and nobody in the family besides Paige ever once tells Jason to knock it off.) If Jason were not so spoiled (the only kid with a pet and a video game system in a family of three) he couldn't get away with half the stunts he pulls. Another example of favoritism shows in how the Mom is clearly on Jason's side during that exchange, even though she has the opportunity to defuse a potential argument and help her children become more tolerant of one another. When Paige wonders if Jason could possibly remember Grizzly-Poo the Mom narrows her eyes and coldly says "Think about it." while Jason enters the room and obnoxiously quips that "Quincy wants to see your zit." He's likely even making up the zit comment to annoy Paige. Characters like Morton Goldthwait are repeatedly drawn with acne, yet Paige's skin is free from blemishes. Being a 14 year old girl and one who tends to take Jason's remarks as true, it's one of the most effective insults Jason could use and he does it WITHOUT any provocation from Paige prior to that panel. (Paige is well-known for being gullible and even believes Jason one time when he 'corrects' her English homework by adding spelling errors and other glaring mistakes to lower her grade. Afterwards she turns down his offers to 'help', realizing that Jason only means to hinder her work.)
