Connie: Our kids always got along so well, Elly... Lawrence, Michael and Elizabeth were such good friends! Elly: Still are! Connie: Now, "little Lizzie" is officially engaged to Anthony! And you like him, don't you. Elly: I do! Connie: When is the big day? Elly: That's the frustrating thing, Connie. They haven't decided - it's not even being discussed! Connie: Hmm... in our day, a rock on your finger meant a date set in stone!
The lack of detail gives the impression of distance. It’s a bit odd because the size is so large; it would work better with a wider shot. Also the colour is not ideal; I suppose that it’s supposed to be washed out by the bright sun behind us, but that doesn’t fit with the vivid greens in the background (and then panel 3 is inconsistent, with washed-out dogs in the distance but shadowed humans up close).
