   Finding lesson instead of Finishing in that Category, will instead point you to that painting. While there are similarities, there are definite differences, the major one being the artist signed this painting at the lower left and he signed that one at the lower right. Another major difference is below the dress in each, that painting shows nearly her entire left foot which is totally covered in this. The artwork on the prominent vase at the right is totally different comparing the two. The statuette on the wall above the man is facing right in this and facing somewhat left in that, not to mention the differences in the head as well as head covering in each. The pitcher to the left of the statuette is different. The painting on the wall below the statuette is different. … Actually, there are probably more differences than similarities.

   Monday, being the Memorial Day holiday in the U.S. (honoring those who lost their lives while in the military with a moment of silence at 3 PM, among other ways), don’t be too surprised if there is no strip that day.

    Please note I left the comment nearly 9 years ago (when he had yet to be named). Adding new characters to a strip isn’t a new concept, not even in 2014.
