That she bought a type of simple lamp that nonetheless required assembly seems noteworthy.
She’s MADE something now, and it is bright and warm.
As cataclysmic as the storyline may sometimes be, I remain impressed by our host’s ability to, as it were, play the softest notes just as easily as the sharpest.
Did anyone else notice her shadow in panel one? This tells us it’s evening – implying she spent hours deciding what to get. Which in turn says how important this was to her. Without a word!
This is so cute.
Ditto.
So cute!
Especially since she went to a furniture store that covers 30 city blocks to buy it…
How many furniture stores other than IKEA have you seen that are anywhere near that big?
I didn’t even know that Minneapolis had an Ikea. I’ve been gone way too long.
