   I always enjoy Ernie’s strips that show how bureaucracy and bureaucracies alienate and fail children.

   I don’t have an answer to your query about panel #4 in strip #1.

   However, to amplify the curious mystery that you have observed, a similar number image can be seen in panel #3 in strip #2.

   I can make out a number 8 on Fuzzy’s pants in panel #3.

   Oh Joy! Hover Hats in every strip today, and two of those in strip #3!

   Given the diagonal geometries in panels 2 and 3, my impression is that Ernie presents us with a ghost-panel, where Nancy’s dog has already seen the scene outside the window.

   Nancy’s dog then resorts to barking at the picture of Sluggo’s head on the wall to spare Nancy the agony of seeing Sluggo’s activity on the street.

   All this is very confusing for Nancy shown in panel 3; but not as confusing (and agonizing) as seeing Sluggo on the street with another girlfriend.

   That’s why panel #5 in the strip is just like the movies – THE END!

   I have never observed lawyers and lawyer stuff in a Bushmiller Comic Strip.

   The bonus for me with those strips and the one today, is the presence of Hover Hats.

   The comical twist is the tendency of the Exterminator’s hat in today’s strip is the hovering type of hat.

   Instead of just falling through the floor in panel #5, along with its owner, it hovers in space above the collapsed floor event.

   Bushmiller did a number of strips with a specific focus on TERMITESand Exterminators.

   Today’s strip is one two that are in the Gocomics collection but there are several with respect to Ernie’s entire output.

   Do you mean the clothes tree Nancy fetched from the Dump?

   Or. do you mean the tree in Sluggo’s yard, and the three tree branches intruding through a hole in a wall of Sluggo’s home that he uses as a ”clothes tree” ?

    I didn’t know that about a name Ernie Bushmiller gave to the city inhabited by Nancy, Sluggo, & all their friends.

    I’m not forgetting ”Spike” but he’s no friend of Nancy or Sluggo.
