Today’s Hi and Lois offers yet one more additional variation on a theme by Slylock Fox. Can you count the differences between the panels?
More disturbing than the panel-shifts though is the black slab on or outside the window. Monolith?

I spotted two changes right away: 1) Thirsty's tie changes color in the second frame, and 2) the paper sticks magically to the window in the first frame but is taped to the window in #2.
Check, and check. I see one more, but I might bring an accusation that I’m being picky.
Oops — now I see two more differences, three total.
The framing (or whatever that is) around the filing cabinet differs. But that doesn't bother me as much as Everyman Hi so casually using the word "nadir."
I too am hard put to say what that is.
The vocabulary makes the joke sound really forced, doesn’t it?
The blinds remain at the same height, but the pulls are not the same. Come to think of it, the blinds themselves look a bit different as well.
I was giving them a pass on the pulls, but I’m not sure there’s a good reason to do so. Still two more differences between the panels.
Sometimes I think there is a different illustrator for each two-panel strip, neither of which is allowed to see what the other is drawing. Back in my college days in C-U, I once made a similar observation about some free jazz I heard on WEFT - the musicians sounded like each had been sequestered in a separate studio, unable to hear the rest of the group.
I think I’d prefer that music to this strip. :)
