   I started singing it from the preview (so I couldn’t see for sure that she was going to end it that way). I laughed when I realized that was exactly her intention after clicking for the full comic strip.

As the things you trim by change up close, it’s tougher to get yourself to step away for perspective. I’m sure there’s a trick to it but the following year, I made a point to step away and look back. That helped.
