Description

In Ireland, the guy on the ladder was concerned with painting the trim on his house, in bright colors, as are often seen there. The other guy was coming back from a wedding up the street. The little girl, well, she had her own point of view.

Perfect, Mitch. The thumbnail looks like a very cool setup, a single square in a comic strip, where you know that that little girl is kicking the old man into the guy with the ladder and he will likely get paint dumped on his wedding garb. Perfectly framed with the blue stipe on either side, and even that flower holder is perfectly placed. Upon closer inspection we can see the girl's foot is ON the wall, and we are forced to imagine our own cartoon. Well done, man! #8586601
