Do you think anyone ever had a hard time believing Penny and Gadget are related. I mean, they really done look alike, made even more obvious with him having dark hair and eyes, and her being fair haired are blue/green eyed.

My sister is blonde, I'm brunette and my brother has very dark brown. And my dad had black hair. But my sister is my half sister and my mother is a red head. Which raises the question, what if John was Sophie's half brother? And I don't mean through adoptions, I mean through marriages or different parents. Like say both were already born, by the time they met each other for the first time. And grew up together at a very young age. I mean hell, maybe they didn't even know they were half brother and half sister! Maybe it was kept from them for a time. That's how it happened for me, when it came to my sister! And they saw each other as nothing more then full blooded siblings regardless! John and Sophie(or if you think he might have had a brother, it would work either way), were close and by the time Penny was born, there was no question of who would be her uncle.

lol yeah they don't look anything alike. Doesn't help that they're practically drawn in different art styles so they don't have much visually in common.
Dark haired parents can have a blond child due to recessive gene expression so things like that do happen sometimes.
I always just sorta assumed that Penny was like put up for adoption at birth or something because there's absolutely no mention of parents at all. If they died you'd still have photos around to remember them by. They don't exist in her life. Either that or her parents were terribly evil people and everybody agreed to never mention them again.

I'd agree with both of you. I also have relatives I look vastly different from, and personally I do see John as being Andrea's (my AU's Sophie) brother by adoption. However, that never changed how close they were, and they might as well have been related by blood.
My question is more in the realm of people refusing to believe that Gadget is Penny's uncle or Andrea/Sophie's brother. Maybe even to the point of a teacher or daycare aid who refused to allow him to pick her up.

I'm not sure of an answer to that. At the schools here a person must sign in and show ID to pick up a kid even if the teacher knows who you are so there's zero chance of a stranger picking up a kid. I've never seen a situation where appearance played a role like that. Maybe it could though? I have heard of people being nasty towards both parents and kids that don't resemble each other. But I also have uncles on both sides of my family that I look nothing like so judging based on looks seems really moot to me.
Not to mention isn't Gadget an international celebrity in his world? I think most people would probably know that Penny is the niece of the world's most famous police officer.

I look nothing like either side of my family, but hey, that's because I'm mixed.
