Panel two is a bit of laziness on my part. I think it's one of the few silhouettes I've ever used in this strip, and it's there because drawing the rocking chair in all those positions looked like it was going to be too much like hard work. Nowadays I'd bite the bullet and draw and colour the thing properly, maybe adding a motion blur effect to the brown infill of the chair. I'd also add a floor. It's not always necessary, but in this case Smith needed something physical to land on.
Before Smith appeared on Tapas, it was available at ComicSherpa - a site which has just closed down, making those first 562 comics unavailable. So, here they are again, presented daily in glorious high definition Tapasvision until the full collection is back up online again.
