Who knew the windshield of Carolyn's car could distort the faces of the people inside:

Book Two/Issue One/Page 6 - Vicki: '"CAROLYN WANTED
TO CHEER UP JOE, SO THEY TOOK DAVID TO PORTLAND
TO GO CHRISTMAS SHOPPING--'

   But the good news is that in subsequent panels in Book 2, Carolyn, David and Joe look like they should.

Interestingly enough, though, the lack of Joe, Carolyn and David looking like themselves is but a minor problem with that panel/quote - but for now I'm going to hold off getting into the real problem...

And BTW, don't let all the recent (and future) explanations for why characters are currently away from Collinwood give the impression that they won't be a part of Book 2. It is true that one won't be seen beyond what we've already seen of them, while some of the other characters mentioned will only be seen briefly. But others' inclusions will definitely be more substantial. And one character in particular will be a huge part of Book 2...

[Mysterious Benefactor]

Oops - I forgot to mention that quite obviously a certain someone wasn't exactly doing their job efficiently or they would have caught the mistake that Woodard is actually Professor Woodard in the '91 Series and not Doctor Woodard, as he is referred to in today's quote:

Book Two/Issue One/Page 6 - Vicki: '"--DOCTOR WOODARD
AND DOCTOR HOFFMAN ARE WORKING ON THE MYSTERY
ABOUT DAPHNE--'

   But then, why should the person in question be any more efficient in these books than they are elsewhere?!

[Uncle Roger]

Perhaps they needed someone offstage (or off panel) to say Remember....someone. 

[Mysterious Benefactor]

   It couldn't have hurt!!

I can think of two possibilities: 1) None are belted into their seats. 2) This image goes much farther than the rest of the exterior panels in picturing a very un-December-like Maine, by having the trees be rather green. (Or maybe those are supposed to be evergreens?)

[Mysterious Benefactor]

   Excellent observations - I didn't even notice #1. But my problem with the Carolyn, David, Joe panel is more storyline oriented with respect to the '91 Series. I'll definitely get into it down the road...

Here's the sixth page -

Note that there are only two small bits of dialogue that were skipped over in the slideshow...

[Gerard]

Leafy green trees in Maine in December?  Remember, this comic book was "filmed" in southern California.  Palm trees...palm trees!...PALM TREES!!!!!

Gerard

[Mysterious Benefactor]

Though the green in the panel is obviously not from palm trees. 

[Uncle Roger]

At this point in the story, would Joe have been still drained from Daphne's attack and be too weak to drive?

[Gerard]

Though the green in the panel is obviously not from palm trees. 

But, MB, the trees are still green!  In Maine!  In December!  That means the comic book was filmed in California with palm...pal...pa...I can't even say it!  Get my DS '91 meds now!  (A vodka chaser would be nice.)

[Mysterious Benefactor]

   Not if, as KMR surmised, they may be evergreens, of which there are many in Maine.

So, wait a minute... What is the chronology of this thing in relation to the series? The story in the comic being around Christmas 1991, wouldn't that be after the events in the series? If so, yes, I do see a huge, huge glaring "fatal" boo-boo!
