Come With Me If You Want to Live

What? You wanted funny, character driven panels? Nope. You get this establishing shot. I don't do many of them, and this one came out well. Nowadays, when I design these, they're set so that I can change the weather and time of day. That way, I can reuse them when the situation arises.

This panel also touches on something that I've never said or dealt with: Abby's parents have a fair amount of money, compared to Mark's. Abby's parents aren't crazy rich or anything, but definitely live in a much nicer area.

With this page, we shift from Christmas with the Spencers to Christmas with the Tennysons. That's when the story really gets going.
