Blankets

The panel on page 158 is of Raina.  She is the only person on the page which shows her lonliness.  The area surrounding her is all white as oppose to most of the panels being very dark.  Also different from the other panels in a very spacious way.  Many of the panels have multiple sections and over lap each other, but in this one the space is empty, and there is so much extra room.  Raina looks said as she tells Craig the bad news about her parents.  He is suprised to hear she has come all the way to Wisconsin, only to find out the roads are blocked off and can not make it.  
Another panel I would like to write about is on page 87.  This panel is of Craig asking God for forgiveness.  Craig has snuck out of his cabin and into the rec room.  The top sketch of Craig is not blocked in by lines but by the hum of the heat blowing.  Craigs eyes are closed as if he is meditating.  He asks Gods forgivness and looks very depressed.  In each panel Craig appears to get smaller and smaller.  By the last panel he is very small and the bubble reads, "PLease forgive me."
