The Lockhorns have decided to redecorate their home. Loretta has gone out, leaving Leroy to paint. Returning home, she discovers Leroy has completed the task.
"I see you painted the walls, a third of the carpet and half of yourself." she comments morosely.
Leroy regards her with a look of great sadness but says nothing. No response is required, it was merely a statement of fact, neither praise nor judgement, no blame or commiseration. The walls may now be a cheerful shade of pink, but no environment can lift the fog of depression and ennui in which they live their lives.
