Don’t forget that Violet Cheshire has some kind of British background (in case you are confused by “Blimey” and her last name, “Cheshire”). However, Violet seems to have forgotten how her “Just make them go away!” approach worked out the last time. But Jules Rivera has learned a bit more about bats. So now she has instituted the “baby bats” plot twist into the story, based on a comment Mark mentioned last Sunday about not moving bats during baby raising.

But it’s too bad that Violet didn’t put any effort into “Bat Prevention” for the music hall after the first occurrence.

Art Dept. The salvation of today’s strip lies in the different layouts in the four panels. In fact, each panel offers a different and interesting viewpoint that reflects the dialog. This is reminiscent of Rivera’s earliest work on the strip. The top-down view in panel 3 is especially well-designed. The foreshortening of Violet works well enough to make the composition believable. This variety is a welcome advance from the usual one-view-fits-all layout that she too often relies on.
