I CATCH A FEESH!
Yay! I finally caught a trout on my flyrod in Wyoming! Hooray! I have spent far too much time flyfishing without catching anything. It feels sooo good to catch a nice-sized brook trout!!!And now for a thorough deconstruction of today's Sally Forth.
As you can see from their clothing in the first panel, Sally and Ted are clearly longing for their own teenie-band days. The sillhouette images in the first and second panels represent how both parents are feeling marginalized, mere black-and white shadows compared to Hilary's shiny, technicolor gothy friend Faye. Notice how Faye's vest is orange, which, as we know, is a combination of red and yellow. Ted's shirt is red, and Sally's is yellow. This tells us that Hilary is looking to Faye as a substitute for both of her inadequate parents. However, Faye's thin arms tell us that not only is she severely disabled, she is WEAK! SHE IS WEAK, AND CANNOT SUBSTITUTE FOR TED AND SALLY! Invitably, the relationship will end, and Hilary will once again be dependent upon her mother and father for the lovin' in her life. Also: Is that the 'sly' expression in the third panel?? Any thoughts on this matter? Also, where does Hilary get her blonde hair? Answers are due at the end of class, and, as always, penmanship counts.
