When I was a small kid my father had a book with various cartoons in it, and one had two people with the caption “well, pardon me for breathing, I didn’t know this air was reserved for Congress only” and the other character did reply, but I don’t recall the response. i loved the comment, even though I had no idea who or what Congress was (I am English).
Nevertheless it is an excellent gift – and when the new name appeared I took it to mean that the Pattersons had paid for the whole shenanigans of changing the business name, not just the new sign. A good plan, especially if the business ends up doing well and expanding a great deal – to change the name then would be disastrous.
In the first panel the small silhouette to Mike’s left is Rhetta. The smiling girl next to Gordon is Tracey. Come the third panel the POV has moved in and we can see Rhetta clearly, and Tracey is out of our line of sight.
