This may be my favorite Sunday strip yet. I tend not to like the one-off standalone gags Sunday comics tend to be as well as the more serial nature of the weekday strips, but Olivia is working on a lot of levels here and it feels genuinely clever.
I count five differences in the marquee, by the way.

OMG, how funny! How clever! And the art work is superb. Oh Magoo, you’ve done it again.

So, nine differences between panels 6 and 8? (Counting Nancy’s and Fritzi’s faces as one each, imo.)

Also, Serious Fritzi continues to be awesome.

Have I ever told you how much I love OJ’s “Fritzi’s Glare”? It’s becoming as much a trademark as Ernie’s “Fritzi Lean.”

Those things can be contagious.

Love Nancy’s smug smile of superiority in the last panel!

Bushmiller’s Nancy made you laugh.
Gilchrist’s Nancy made you go “awww” (or tried to)
OJ’s Nancy makes you THINK.

I came back sooner than expected and glad I did. I have to admit this was really good, although all the over-the-top praises were a bit of a downer.
If you really want to see a comic that’s gone downhill, check out the new One Big Happy. Sad. https://www.creators.com/read/one-big-happy

The lists on the refrigerator: hilarious! Fritzi has a lot of nerve (a family trait, we see).

Very cute! I especially like the dual header panels.

This is probably my favorite strip.
