Description

Finally, a Sunday strip. I’ve been looking for the right Sunday for some time, and this one fits the bill. From August 13th, 1944, Caniff packs so much into one Sunday, it’s amazing. There are two distinct story lines going on, and panels 4 and 5 are almost a story unto themselves. Willow walks in at the wrong time to see Terry and Burma sharing a moment. It’s hard to see in the printed strip, but here you can see the surprise in Willow’s face, followed by the long shot of her leaving the hut unnoticed. It’s really neat the way Caniff could throw so much into two panels. Just classic.

So much said in two panels, indeed. What a great Terry Sunday - this one was certainly worth the wait!

Love these 4 tiered sundays. And you are absolutely right, that silhouette panel is perfect emotional storytelilng that Caniff always brings to his work. Great pick up.
