Subtle joke in those panels, indeed, and shrewd observer of the subtleties, Mikey. I can’t say I sense a spy camera on this one, exactly, neither of us being avid gardners, but the pivotal divergence and role assignments are spot-on otherwise — as usual.
I’m not implying Adam loafs, but the panel with Tricia holding the pickax ( I watched you from the roof of your house spread, then respread miles of bark mulch) while Adam lovingly pats the seat cushion …. how about the garden store as a metaphor for weekends?
