Masterpiece:
Am I the only one who doesn't know why todays comic is supposed to be funny?
Method of Madness:
Nope. That's not to say it's not, but I'm not sure why it is.

Of course, a smart enough AR system, would know that with his head covered he can't see anything, so exclude things from his vision, unless he's enabled a specific mode for that purpose (eg an AR "X-Ray" mode for seeing inside of operating equipment).

Actually we have no idea if she's there before he put his glasses on or not. In panel 2 his eyes are still closed, and she would be standing off screen in panels 1, 2 and 3. But I think the flow from panel 3 to panel 4 is meant to imply that she shows up when he turns his glasses on.
Personally I like ankhtahr's hypothesis:

A crackpot hypothesis about the last panel - the reason Jeannie doesn't want him to turn over is because it will block her projection.
--- Quote from: Border Reiver on 16 Jul 2013, 05:33 ---Zebediah, unless Mr. Jacques has already done so, I believe you have named the projection.
--- End quote ---
Zebediah, you're not supposed to name it. Once you name it, you start getting attached to it.

I've been in Dale's situation before. Though in my case it involved powerful prescription drugs. I should probably mention that yes they had been prescribed to me.
