No way you can describe something like this with just one word, but I'll take a shot.  Exquisite!

Great looking strip.  I like how adept Frank was in blending his illustrative style with the animated gestures of his characters adding a lightheartedness to them.  Swell stuff!

You are right on with all that!

With this strip, I think it's one of the better drawn ones that has come up in quite a while, with all that amazing detail / rendering, and we get a different great looking girl.

Even though Johnny nor Jean are on it, thoes three characters look so good!

Love this daily!  Great mix of shading techniques, wonderful expressions, and convincing and animated drapery and smoke effects.  This one's all intrigue and close-ups

Pinpoint accuracy in artistry and in characterization breathing life and personality into these characters better than their words can convey.

Yes, for sure!!

It was nice to have a strip with different characters other than Johnny, Jean, Ma & Pop.

And a great female face to boot!

What a wonderful example of how Frazetta was able to take an ordinary sequence and make it look like a Masterpiece. Just extrordinary!!!

Really beautifully drawn strip. Frazetta's understanding of anatomy is amazing, as he was in his early 20's when working on this strip. His ability to draw hands and gesture are unequaled. Congratulations on this gem!

Even near the beginning of his long and storied careeer, Frazetta was a master.  This beautiful strip shows why.  The way the clothing is draped on the characters is just masterful.  Congratulations!
