Bearing witness

Lots of life on display in the house windows, as Jack notes. And when times get tough, Jack consoles himself with the promise that, someday, he'll be out there wobbling around with the rest of 'em.

Spare parts

Jack's a big fan of robots, and he seeks to emulate their unblinking, drone-like ways.

Clearance Clarence

Jack's shaggy locks earned him a trip to the coolest hair salon around, where he could, yes, be miserable, but at least do so in the cockpit of a low-flying Cessna.

The stranger

Jack says he's evolving, his daily patterns growing more sophisticated as a result of his steady diet of pop-up books and Baby Einstein videos.

He begins each day at the tub anarchist meeting.

Then he disabuses dad of his crazy notions that anarchists are up to no good.

By noon, it's time to rumble with Bella.

Then he gathers himself after a hard fought draw.

Finally, back to the kitchen where, if he plays his cards right, a bottle might be in the offing.
