WTF is up with those eyes? Has everyone just been hypnotized or something? That is BAD. And as a general rule, when the original artist/writer of a strip dies, then the strip should be retired. In most cases, the replacement artist/writer just can’t live up to the old standard. In many cases, the strip should be retired long before the original artist/writer dies, in fact. ---

(Also, I had to read the strip twice to notice the black haired woman wasn’t wearing a wedge cap, and it was her hair that looked like that. Which is an extra bit of WTF.) ---

Back to the OP, the difference is that the mailman stuck a peanut between his nose and upper lip, while the neighbor did the same thing with a giant bean. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/blondie-comic-strip-question/629801.md?page=1)
