Welu:
I loved this strip. I can see Faye and Dora having a similar exchange when they get older.

I wonder if its for a similar reason to why you don't see a lot of closets in pre-1900 US houses. At one point the property tax on houses was based on number of rooms, and a closet counted as a separate room, so it was cheaper to keep wardrobes. Closets were a super rich person thing.

Or so I was told by a person conducting a tour of an old plantation house. They could have been making shit up for all I know. But it does have some logic to it.

Srxjo:
Hey, I'm new here (to the forums not the comic, been reading for years now) and must say I loved the new comic, I wonder if that is her sister or in-law, if it is her sister then it'll be even funnier and why is there so much hating on ties going on? I personally love ties (Though I don't really ever have a reason to wear one), I did hate them back when i was forced to wear them for school but that might be because the colours was ugly as sin.

Carl-E:
Closets evolved with the clothing industry in the US.  If you only have three changes of clothes and a sunday suit, all you really need is a dresser and a couple of hooks...

I live in a house built in 1900.  Every bedroom has a closet, but they are extraordinarily small - not much wider than the door, and less deep then they are wide.  They're rimmed with hooks, and had two short rods added (running front to back on each side of the door, they're not deep enough for a side-to-side rod) for hangers.  There's also a shelf.  The largest bedroom has two closets of that type. 

Not a lot of room for clothes, really.  No coat closets or anything on the first floor.  We have some extra wardrobes and dressers in the bedrooms and a coat rack downstairs. 


The world was a very different place...

Is that his dad or his mom's sister? I suppose we'll find out next week.

If they're both in the sexy time business as implied, and they are actual sisters and not just sisters-in-law...

I'm guessing that Jane is Henry's sister, therefore Veronica's ex-sister-in-law. Just a guess, though. And it sounds to me like Jane isn't in the business, just... an enthusiastic amateur, shall we say.
