A somewhat original strip, wot wot

I'll give Al credit for today's strip--at least the idea is somewhat original. And by that, I mean that it doesn't involve the medical profession or a henpecked husband and nagging wife. So, kudos for that.

Personally, I hate mirrors in restaurants. At least, huge mirrors. I do not want to watch myself as I eat. Ew. I once had an apartment with a huge mirror in the dining room. It was horrible. I always positioned myself so I never had to look at it. Really, the way Dimdome has it set up in the bottom panel is ideal; you can still catch glimpses of your reflection, but not too much. Perfect!

I'm guessing that the customer in the bottom panel is the mirror installer from the top panel; otherwise, why would he care about whether the mirror is covered? Really, even if he is the mirror installer, why would he care? He got his money.

And what kind of place is this? I'm guessing it's a diner, but what a strange combination of food--goulash (today only!), beef stew, pea soup, and...pizza?

Note to Al: If you're going to actually illustrate what's on the counter, then you don't need to list it for us in the expo box. Really. The "and whatever" was particularly helpful. Also? Unless you're writing for a Brit, don't use "wot." Ever. Full stop.
