There’s also the situation in tournaments with final phases. The silver medal goes to the team or athlete who loses the final match, whereas the bronze medal goes to the team or athlete who wins the “small final” match, i.e. between the two who lost in semi-finals. So yes, they have lost a match also, but the bronze end their run with a win whereas the silver end their run with a loss.
Something to ponder: among the talented comic strips artists here, we have a Rickard and a Pastis. But anyone who has ever drank Ricard knows that Ricard is Pastis. So…
Add me to the list! (Also, for the OP, notice that even though Alice is closer to us than her Dad, her speech bubble is actually positioned behind him and can be seen through his transparent head. If it were in front, it would behave like speech bubbles in front of others, i.e. the line and color of the part superimposed over the thing behind would be sharp and continuous for the line, and white for the bubble’s portion, like Dad’s bubble “Oh”. Or Peter’s bubble.)
Thank you captain obvious.
