Pierre gets right to the heart of the matter.

OOOOOKay! Moving on now!

Pierre is not too old to be thrashed by an angered sister. –Just saying, he’s the shortest of the three in panel 3, and not well positioned for a hasty retreat….

BTW, teen-Mona in panel 2 does look really fine!

Gweedo Murray, you got that right. I wouldn’t mind if Mona looked like that all the time!

It’s been downhill ever since.

Woah, “attractive and elegant” Mona is hot.

Yay Mona got boobs

Raoul happened, came and went..(NO pun intended!)

”Raoul, you may think of me as nothing more than a silly little lovesick girl, but just you wait; you’ll come around and pretty soon we’ll be together forever because I’m drinking milk!”

”Drinking milk will give me what I need to make everybody take notice of my beauty. Even you, Raoul. So when you see me, I hope you’ll know how to respond when I say, ‘I love you’.”

Raoul: Uh, I think we need to see other people.

10 years later…

”You know what? &$#% milk! It’s cigarettes, vodka, and industrial-strength hair wax for me! At least Monsieur Smokey knows how to treat a beautiful woman! Monsieur Smokey is a REAL man! I don’t need a man! I don’t need anybody!”

MILK: IT DOES A BODY GOOD…BUT IT DOESN’T WORK MIRACLES.

Is Mona smiling in panel 2? Where are my scissors?

if mona had the attitude that goes w/ panel 2, she wouldn’t be in the fix she’s in…

Panel 2 is what Mona would look like if she didn’t scowl constantly.

Actually, those are jacket lapels in frame 2. Don’t jump to conclusions.
