Original Commentary
I didn't mean to draw Sandra looking so... ugly on the outside in panel three. I wanted her to have a shocked face and thinking about it... you'd probably make an ugly face too if someone told you that. Not that I hope that's ever happened to you, personally. It just a hypothetical case.

Their not moving that far from that bell tower, are they? Oh well... that background isn't too long, it was only used once previously that I can recall in "Success without fanfare". Although I should mention, this background is just a variant on the plain old bell tower image, only with more trees, grass and closer brick walls. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
I mean, if Sandra didn't have an excuse to Be Helpful, I don't think she would have talked to Jake. And if she had just started talking to him, I don't think he would have trusted her. - Terrence
