I agree about the point of view & the bushes…. but where is the house?? It looks like the bushed go behind the step Earl is sitting on in all of panels 2, 4 & 7.
The viewing angle change in the last panel just looks to me like the “camera” has moved in a wide half-circle, zooming out and down a bit. Maybe the bushes should extend out a bit farther past grandpa, if drawn perfectly, but I never would have noticed if it hadn’t been brought up.
It always surprises me how many people get confused and bothered by changes in viewing angle in comic strips.

Did anyone else notice the bushed in the background suddenly changed color in the last panel?

Michelangelo said that about carving marble. Me, the only thing I found waiting inside of whittling wood was splinters.

I got a nice chuckle out of this one.
