In the first panel, the look on Nancy's face indicates that she knows she's been bad and is unlikely to be allowed out to play. In the second panel, she is even less hopeful about her "plan B". Only with that context can you make sense of her contentment in the third panel. <br /><br />And yeah, Kaz is a genius. Too bad he hasn't posted a new strip since February.

Also look at how the positioning of Nancy in the first two panels lead the eye inexorably towards the gag. The positioning of Nancy's arms is particularly crucial and clever.Peteykinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960842777164948590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11084955.post-29210796888157036972013-10-08T09:58:01.342-04:002013-10-08T09:58:01.342-04:001.
