With `%matplotlib inline` (default inline backend) the figures get closed[^1] at the end of a cell, so the two plot commands would have to be in the same cell to get an overlay, which is fine. But with ipympl, this is not the case so you have to be more careful.

[^1]: You can disable this behavior with `%config InlineBackend.close_figures=False` and get an overlay from plot commands in separate cells, but then you have to manually refresh the plot it seems.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,627805952
