Mary and Jeff certainly have limited wardrobes, which makes dressing a snap. Mary: “Cowl or turtleneck?” Jeff: “Which of my three polos should I wear today? Decisions, decisions! Good thing I’m semiretired.”
The second panel is a duplicate, the third panel is a swipe.
No wait a minute. The third panel is the original, the second panel is swiped from it, and the first panel is a duplicate of the second. The way to tell the difference between a duplicate and a swipe is to see if the actual pen-strokes are the same.
When I was doing a comic strip in the Eighties, I generally swiped my action poses (there weren't many; it was a talky strip) from Steve Ditko's work on Spider-Man, though there was one complex scene with multiple characters that I swiped from Jack Kirby. Always steal from the best! I still have my comic book collection in case I ever want to do cartooning again.

Is self-congratulatory week over?
Boy, Dr Jeff is really pounding those beers! His reply in panel two should have just been a simple "I'll drink to that!".
Birds, moon, cowl neck, tidal wave-ice berg, shirt color, bottom of window pane. If I win I want a new story! But not Wilbur!
Mr. Allora will be happy to see June return from her vacation. He’s getting pretty torqued off having to empty the recycling bins every day.
