Ed used the word “Swish!” to describe Tommy’s rapid jumping in front of Couver when we first met them both in this story arc, so I voted that this be a sound effect used strictly for Tommy, and Ed seconded it. In this sequence we also see how able a thief Tommy is when he has a chance and Tyrone is on the ball and paying attention to see if anyone is coming, not lost in his own world eating. -Rich
The dog saying “Well I never!” is the Hobo and Bowser version of our terrier mix Jenny. It originally was going to be a Corgi family in honor of a Corgi named Duffy owned by some old neighbors of ours, but when Jenny entered our lives, I decided to save Corgis for later and put her in instead! Ed drew her flawlessly. Also, I love how he got Hopady’s furious expression in the second panel. You can see loud and clear how crazy DH and Couver have made her, setting up the ‘wrong person’ gag with Jenny & co. after Hopady blows her stack. -Rich
