I don't believe Marigold's kitchen is messy. Hanners seems well adapted to the fact that Mar-bear is not a very clean person. (Thank you for lying to me.)
I also know that Hannelore is a sandals kind of girl. For someone with hypochondria and a dose of don't touch me, she's always shown a lot of skin. Probably because bare skin signals vulnerability, and Jeph hasn't thought about it much.
I just can't interpret Hanners being barefoot on a surface she did not clean, sanitize, sterilize, and test. It's probably a throwaway art choice, but I can't stop seeing it and asking what does it mean?
I am also wondering what it says about me that this thing was the first thing I noticed. As in, before reading any dialogue, I knew it was Marigold's kitchen, for one. I know the kitchens we've been to at a glance. That, right there suggests I need a hobby and some friends. Then I noticed Hannelore's state of dress. Then I read the comic.
On the up side, I didn't notice that Marigold was two inches short in panel one until someone else mentioned it.
