Well, I thought it was amusing. The stereotypes at work here:

  1. Russians have to wait in long queues to buy so much as a loaf of bread. Hence they are often "shopping".
  2. Women love shopping.
I'm aware these are stereotypes, and in many times and places untrue.
A lot of people have written to me asking what the guy on the floor and the doctor are doing there in panel 3. All I want to say about that is check strips 973 and 985, and remember Kiev is snowed in. It actually has nothing to do with the story; I just thought it would be a neat background thing.

Sometimes I like to put little things like this into the backgrounds without drawing attention to them or having to explain them in detail. Unfortunately if I don't explain them, I get dozens of e-mails asking for an explanation! Ah well... such is the price of fame.
