Nancy: Sluggo---You're the laziest boy in town. Here, take a close-up of the BUSY bee in that flower-- It may inspire you to be more ambitious.
Noises: BZZZ BZZ
I find the use of the term “close-up” to be a peculiar borrowing of terminology commonly found in relation to photography and camera lenses.
Glass in a magnifying glass is a different order of glass than a camera lens but the strip suggests that the term “close-up” is part of magnifying glass culture as well as camera culture and technology.
Perhaps such were the ways of the term “close-up” in the early 1950s.
I was born in 1943 and I recollect “close-up” being specific to cinematography and photography.

I like the look on Sluggo’s face just before the final panel. It sets up the joke.
