She probably shouldn't have asked

Sadly, Connie probably knows exactly how full of crap Elly is; she's seen enough of her pal to know that she wastes her time on folly and won't let people help her.

And here we see the moment where Lynn Johnston's art style changed from keeping the same perspective from panel-to-panel to mercilessly changing the perspective in every panel.

howard,

At times, she even changed the perspective within the panels.

Yup--but no one can ever get Elly to acknowledge this.

Heh--maybe there was a moment like this. Perhaps it also included a question about all the figures in profile, leaning partially into the frames to have a conversation. ;)

I like how you deliberately draw Connie with the Jim-esque looks she had in the latter years of the strip.

Also, it's interesting to note that the real strip featured Elly going into a seething rage over things even sillier than today's strip...and never getting called on it, after a certain point.

Seriously. What a joy it must be for people around her, never knowing what triviality will set her off. 0_o
