There are several subtle things I put in this strip. For example, Moe seems to be ignoring the fact that Charlie is talking to Julia. So I shifted the frame in the third panel to remove Julia from our view. Also, I've noticed that, when parents do what I've shown Charlie doing here, the kids seem to portray them as being closer than they are. So in Charlie's experience, he's his real distance. In Moe's experience, though, I scooted the monster closer to Moe. Then there's the talk bubbles. In the adults' experience, Charlie's talk bubble overlaps Moe's. But in the kids' experience, Moe's talk bubble overlaps Charlie's. Can you think of any other subtle things I added?
