- Four pages later when Hope totally reveals that was Rhoda

I don't know what accessibility options for reaching things in stores could exist (aside from asking for assistance). All I know is I've been asked by many a stranger in stores to help them reach things. Which I'm happy to do and feel good about doing (YAY I HELPED), but this isn't about me.

Not usually about me, anyway. I did recently have to use a box of cereal as a makeshift tool to reach another box of cereal.

Part of me wants to suggest some sort of cart with a built-in stepping stool, but another part of me doesn't want to get in trouble when that idea goes horribly and predictably wrong.

What lurks below

"I must illustrate everything hidden by the word balloons" is not something I tend to think while making comics. This was made abundantly clear when I rediscovered the Picasso-esque absurdities lurking beneath the word balloons in the original version of panel two. Not wishing to take the time to un-Picasso it, I made the word balloons in this version of the panel the exact minimum sizes they had to be to conceal the unintentional cubism beneath.
