If you drink too many pints you might wee in your umbrella……I missed the 4th wall (and the 4 panels) discussion yesterday. I do agree that breaking the 4th wall is WAY over-used in here (and my whining about it is way over-used, I’m sure……..), but it does work sometimes. Best as a reaction shot, although in the modern Andy it always seems like the creators are congratulating themselves on their own cleverness (and not deservedly so, neither). I’ve been checking out “The Complete Peanuts” a bit at a time, and was surprised recently how long ago “Peanuts” shifted from 4 panels to 3. I would have thought Shulz shifted much later in his legendary run than he did. He adapted excellently, of course.
Credit where credit is due department: Jackie’s personality is expressed quite well in the last panel. It looks like he is heroically forebearing to be immodest at his idea of what a cocktail is (and should be). I wish there were much more of this attention to body language in the modern Andy.

So Jack serves whiskey and nothing but whiskey? Not my kind of barkeeper… not that I go to a bar anyway.

Sheesh, he may have at least sprung for a packet of crisps too. :)

Look at “Mr Big Shot” waving the money about.
I’ve always wondered why cocktails have little umbrellas in them. Is it just to make them look pretty?

“templo is not much of a talker so don’t expect a reply.”.I wasn’t……….. I just thought that his religious affilliations were down on drink.

Hi all. Hmm They could have left Chalkie out of the last panel he didn’t need to explain it.
