I haven’t read that. So it contains original material, and not just reprints of the strip?
I’m not sure that she “surpassed” the Shield of Boringness. The Shield doesn’t make them invisible, just so uninteresting that they’re barely noticed and soon forgotten. And clearly, Phoebe has forgotten this incident.
It’s like the marshmallow test. Leave a kid with a marshmallow, and promise that if the marshmallow is still there in half an hour, he can have another one. Some kids are able to resist, thinking of the longer term consequences.
He’s taller than Sally, and seems to be showing some authority over her, so definitely Linus. He’s also got the usual stripes, while Rerun usually wore overalls. For Peanuts, even Sunday strips were originally B&W and not coloured by Schulz, so strange things happened occasionally.
Well, Tracy is raising the same issues that commenters here raised yesterday, thinking it was a screw-up. So it was intentional, at least.
The really puzzling thing is that the phone in the image looks like the smartphone it’s on, not the flip phone in his other hand. The whole thing looks very weird, which I like. It’s more interesting than most of the Minute Mysteries, at least. The question is whether they will manage to resolve it in a satisfactory way.
Someone said that selfies are always mirror images. Well, it depends on the camera settings. Usually, the image shown on the screen while taking the selfie is a mirror image, because that’s how we’re accustomed to seeing ourselves, but there is a setting to decide whether to store the reflected image (which is usually the default), or to store it unreflected. Note also that video conferencing systems like Zoom tend to show your own image reflected, but all the others unreflected.
A friend had a mirror in his hallway that actually was two mirrors at right angles to each other. When looking at it, the reflection was not reversed like usual. It was really unnerving to look at. I sure wouldn’t use it to shave.
