Well, if he were reading a paper, the toilet paper would be justified… since it’s the radio: I see the sense in brushing the ol’ ivories. What brand of toothpaste does M… oops – this guy use?

No one’s stopping you from performing that one right there in the privacy of your own bathroom…

Well, at least I spared you the shot of him going to the bathroom. That happened while we cut away to the TV screen… Hey, you gotta know where to point that camera.

Right guys, this is the most cinematic tooth brushing scene ever !

What makes it work so well IMO is the double layer : guy brushing his teeth, speaker on the radio, us in between going back and forth.

Can’t wait to see how he’ll eat his cornflakes ! :+)

I too love the double mirrors, we get to see his face twice in the panels. Somehow it makes the teeth brushing more fun to watch, uhm, look at?

I have to agree, there is something real or cinematic about this strip. I can only assume the fact this was suppose to be animated this won’t be the last time MT will have that feel.

Tom – I guess that’s the question I want the audience asking, although it may not be as important as what he’s listening to. Hmm.

hee hee…Thanks, Michael! Any time I can get you referencing movies in talking about Moon Town, that’s a win for me.

Hehe!…I’ve loved teeth brushing scenes ever since I saw the Jack Nicholson one in the incredible Vivian Kubrick Shining documentary. They are very human, and that is always good in story telling. Third panel is great yeah…and love the extra mirror!
