    The pink sky looks like something out of a Star Trek episode.

    What clouds?

    Can the thunder and lightning be far behind?

    Beni is easily unnerved by violent cloud formations.

    Alice’s imagination is more active than Beni’s, but he is impressed by her imagery—too impressed! But the darkness of panel 6 brightens in panel 7 as the cloud scuds away and Beni releases from fetal position. Now we can all relax. …Except about that pink sky….

    But it needs to be pink. If the sky is a bright canary yellow, you forget every cloud you’ve ever seen.

    One of the things I’ve always loved about Richard Thompson’s work is that he letters in upper and lower case. The Tin Tin books were lettered like that, but I don’t think they were hand lettered. I’ll have to find my old copies and check it out. BTW – the Tin Tin movie is still in the works … at least the last I heard it was. Does anyone know?

    Yes, this is a lazy Sunday reprint. @Detourjones, Local Hero is my favorite movie! Thank you for bringing it up.

    Actually it parallels a Nancy on the same day. Probably a coincidence.

    More brilliant use of perspective—fills me with admiration and delight.
