☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Lamp," Bernard Dibble crafts a quietly tense moment as Jonesy struggles to get his father’s attention—only to be brushed off mid-sentence while trying to report a theft. The story unfolds with Dibble’s distinctive art and storytelling, capturing the frustration of a boy caught between a family moment and a real-life mystery.
Jonesy tries to warn his father that a thief has stolen his tuxedo pants, but the older man is too busy griping about being interrupted to pay attention—leaving the young man in a situation that’s equal parts absurd and awkward.
