This is one episode where it’s absolutely appropriate that the art is repeated exactly by a computer from frame to frame - Frame 2 repeats her from Frame 1, and Frame 3 repeats him from there, with not a hair out of place. It’s about as fun as that game in the Sunday papers (or paper restaurant placemats) where you look at an array of drawings to find which one has a difference. Or, you don’t bother.
Anyway, the onerous task of looking a the art today is right in tune with the dreary message of the day’s strip. A relationship that wallows in the doldrums from time to time, or where a couple unwittingly talk past each other, is a sad but true reality.
Let’s hope they outgrow it. And let’s hope the strip outgrows its use of motionless mannequins instead of characters.
