Hi and Lois watch

[Hi and Lois, September 15, 2025. Click for a larger view.]

I have no idea what’s going in today’s Hi and Lois :

~ They’re at home, of course. There’d be no element of surprise if they were in a restaurant. But where did that little table for two come from? Not to mention the picture window and heavy orange drapes, which look like something out of a restaurant.

~ Do Hi’s whiskers, along with his loosened tie, suggest the end of a hard day’s work? Or is Hi growing a beard? And is Lois going to ask that he shave it off?

~ Has Hi come home late? Did Lois know he’d be home late? Is that why he’s the only one eating? Or about to eat? And will he be able to manage that steak without a knife?

~ That changing wall color? No worries: readers of Hi and Lois know that anything can happen in the interstice. But still.

And if the wall can change color in the interstice, I think it’d be nice if Hi were to go take a shave there. After all, Lois has made him that cliché of high-class dining, the steak dinner (because — another cliché — she wants something from him). Maybe Lois could get a knife for Hi in the interstice. A napkin might help too.
