Today's strip is all about the facial expressions. Panel 1 with Bubbles' nervousness about how she actually cut Momo's hair; also maybe a little shame a lying about it because she can't even meet Momo's gaze. Then there's panel 3 so wonderfully in-character with Momo desperately not wanting to appear ungrateful or pushy.
However, for me, the real pay-off is panel 4 and both Bubbles and Faye's expressions: I think that there's a squabble offing, given Bubbles' clear disbelieving annoyance. But Faye's response is just so
wonderful! The cry of "
What? What did I do? I don't get it!" is just so clear that you can't help feel for Faye and the fact that she's genuinely struggling to understand how she's managed to insult Momo when she was trying to
compliment her!
Faye, for the record 'looking punk' is not a universal compliment and you shouldn't assume people are glad to be told that they do so!
So, yeah: Jeph got the visual comedy and storytelling just right here.
