It’s just like TV shows. On some TV shows one guest star has played different guest characters. And sometimes there are continuity errors too.

True. Marla’s hair follows that same visual rule actually. Her part is always on the side opposite the reader.

Al Capp, who drew Lil Abner, always had the curl on Abner’s head look the same, ignoring that, technically, a swoop on the right would never move to the left. He liked how it looked. The author of Kevin and Kell does the same with Kevin’s ear. It just makes visual sense.

It makes perfect sense visually. You kept the patch on the “upstage” so that when he turns his head we still see the expression of his remaining eye. It would look weird to switch it to the “downstage” eye.
