Hi and Lois watch

[Hi and Lois, July 8, 2023. Click for a larger view.]

At a glance you can see that something’s wrong in today’s Hi and Lois. Or that some things are wrong:

~ A tiny bit of the door is missing at the bottom.

~ The wall that holds the doorframe is at a 10° angle. (I used an online protractor to check.)

~ The door cannot close on its (imaginary?) sill. More floor is needed for that to be possible.

Feel free to draw on your screen to check these claims.

Construction is often haphazard in the Hi and Lois world — this panel is still my favorite example — but today’s strip represents a radical departure from the norms of design.

And to think that the strip was once created with a floor plan for the Flagstons’ house.

[A bonus in today’s strip: the boat in its first panel has the name BIG 2♡ED on its side.]
