Fall Foliage #11

by Brian Walker, Greg Walker and Chance Browne

Hi and Lois Sunday page, November 9, 1975. Hi and Lois Sunday page, November 9, 1975.

Our final episode in this fall foliage series, at least until next year, is a Dik Browne classic.

In panels #4 through #8, Hi and Lois are shown driving past sunlit trees, fields of crops, a charming waterfall, a dairy farm and a sailboat at sea. These scenes are rendered with fine detail, dramatic perspective and balanced coloring. The overall effect helps set up Lois’ punch line at the end. As I have stated here many times, Dik was a master of cartoon composition.

Holiday season is upon us now, so look for some Christmas themed strips in upcoming posts.
