    I like the part about the six million trees and candles.

    An interesting Bushmiller “riff” on the early language models of children.

    For Peewee, his language model is very small, but at least he can read some phonetic structures, and then take some of them literally.

    Nancy’s reaction is pure shock, representing her lack of understanding how Peewee’s mind is working.

    The portrayal of cold blasts of fierce weather in Sluggo’s home in panel #3 are, in my opinion, some epic artistry on Bushmiller’s part.

    As a comic strip character, yes; his artistic portrayal is lower middle-class, but shouldn’t we concede that Sluggo is a brilliant comic strip character?

    This strip has me assuming that Ernie Bushmiller didn’t give Nancy earmuffs because her natural head hair serves as earmuffs. Ernie gave Sluggo earmuffs due to him lacking much in the way of head hair.

    This is a first for me.

    And Wikipedia takes the term on with material spanning a vast period of ”Dance Of Death”.

    Examles of spans from works of art by Holbein to early Walt Disney cartoons!

    I enjoy the diagonal geometries in every panel of this strip. Each panel have a couple of interesting diagonal geometries.
