(FOR SOME STRANGE REASON Alt text can be FAR longer than the post itself. So I'm re-posting the image with the Second Half of the alt-text in it. Otherwise the alt texts would spraw over 6-7 actual posts.)

(second half alt text)
V: Oh, I'm no expert. But it depends on the mood you want for the room. If you go with the checkered blue you might tie the couch in with everything else a bit more. The red is really more of an orange-red so its going to fight for attention and stand out.  But then again it might look a bit glaring.  But what you could do is use a cool gray instead. Because it'll have enough blue to match and enough of a difference to stand out.

V: (off panel) Anyway, that's what I would do.  But I don't know if I'm remembering right.  My degress is in design but I haven't done a thing with it. I'm sorry. I wish I could have been more of a help.

(Vinci turns to leave)

D: Sir? Wait a minute, please...

Vinci is shopping, running an errand while Arty is off at work... (due to dialogue size, second half of alt-text will be in the first reply)

Six panel Strip, first two thought balloons of Vinci are bracketed, indicating that Vinci is thinking in Greek.  The woman's name is Dulcy DeLeche.

V: (thinking) Arty would love this donut clock. It IS on sale, but that'd be the last of the commission money from the last painting. He might get upset if I spend that.

V: (thinking) If only I could do something other than paint.  This whole artist gig isn't what I thought it'd be.
Dulcy: Excuse me, could I get your help with something?
V: Oh? Certainly. 

D: My husband owns an interior design company. So I usually just have him help me with this sort of thing. But he's on a business trip.  Tell me which do you think would look better with a navy couch, if the rest of the room is white and blue. The checkered blue or this red?

The Adventures with Arty and Graham continue! The expressions tell the story as richly as the words do.

Three panel strip, Graham and Arty... and a voice.

A: Thanks for your help.  You really sure you're okay by yourself?
G: Haw! Run while y'can! I can hold the fort. Done it more times than I care to remember.

G: I can stay awake a long time if I gotta. Kinda makes y'talk to yourself as time goes by, but S'like I always say, as long as the computers don't start talkin' back, I know I'm good.

*Off Panel Mystery Voice:  EEEE!! HELP!!
A: That's Not Good!
G: That definitely ain't good!

Arty goes looking for help... and finds... Uh oh.

Six panel strip, Arty exclusively.  Lots of thought bubbles.  Arty is looking for an alternate route out.

Arty:  Hello?  Anyone Home?

Arty: (Thinking) Hmm.  No One.  I wonder if there ever IS anyone here.  I think this is the department everyone says is haunted.  Man, even Spuk says that, and she KNOWS this stuff.

Arty: (Thinking)  Kinda Creepy.   Hmph!  So it's a good thing I don't believe in ghosts and all that spooky crap.  Really! Haunted! As If.

SFX: *GROWL!*  *RUSTLE!*  (Arty's tail gets all poofed out)

Arty: **GASP!**

SFX:  *GROWL!*
Arty:  Nuh-nuh-nuh nice Ghostie!

panel-text:  To be Continued... but you knew that..

Arty gets locked in at work... Uh oh...

Four panel strip of Arty fighting a door lock, and losing.

Arty:  "They won't miss a few donuts from the break room.  Now to go home and relax."

Arty: "Huh? Don't tell me this thing is locked?"

Arty: *Door shaking!*  *sfx: GRR!!*

Arty:  *SIGH!*  Hell-oooooo  Plotpoint.
