Pipe Tobacco gets to see Esther smile at last! It must be the cornbread.
Also, early guess at what trivial background detail gets picked on today – I’m guessing the compressed view into the other room in the first two panels, which is needed to set up the joke.
I am considering a change.org petition to bring back Irma, Rollo, and all the other friends, and move Esther on to another neighborhood a safe distance away from this comic strip.
Oh, and I’m not really doing the petition. I just wish we could see the old, likable people. Esther is a real pain in the neck. And she seems to be a bad influence on Nancy. And she looks like Sluggo in drag.
Just for a change, I think I’ll complain about the speech balloons. Specifically, about the tails of the speech balloons. That first one’s kinda weak. We Must Do Better!
There’s a single perspective point for the room that’s hidden behind Nancy’s head. The table is at an angle to the point, and Esther is at an angle to the table. The room the table is in is below the horizon by about 8 inches. The glass should stay on the table, but the pasta (?) is sitting on the edge, and it’s at an angle to Esther, but not the same angle as the table. It’s going to fall somewhere, but given the table and Esther, it might fall into a void between each.
I’m not sure if the wee bits of cubism are a reference to Bushmiller, or hurried drafting.

That is spaghetti.
But the joke is it is covered in raspberry jam.

Did they stick her in a closet?

Haters gonna hate, but I really like the way Fritzi looks now. I think the updated Fritzi looks like people I see every day.

A census taker once tried to test Esther. She ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti. [slurping intake of breath]
