  1. Beautifully drawn, but I’m afraid the moral is pretty diluted. The final frame is difficult to clearly discern (unless it was really a common caregiving mode in that time so they would quickly recognize it), and the children look quite different from each other.

  2. Yeah, the styles are so different — I think somebody pulled them from three different sources and decided to try to tell a story.
