The Mother of All Clichés

Yeah, today’s “punchline” is pretty stale. So let’s focus instead on the artwork here: although Dinkle and Becky in panel 1 are shown standing on solid ground, their body language gives the impression that the conversation is taking place on the deck of a ship on a rolling sea. In panel two, each figure lurches to their right, before Harry bobs left in panel 3. It’s disconcerting, but even more disconcerting is the proportion of Becky’s head to her scrawny neck. “It’s like an orange on a toothpick!”
