Life on the Fourth Floor

Can someone explain to me why I made this page six panels long and set it in a bookshop? I suppose I just focused on the science fiction and fantasy section. Not unlike when I visit a real bookshop.

But why did I feel the need to draw each book on every shelf individually? I suppose I’m just a glutton for punishment.

Still, I’m proud of the backgrounds and expressions in this one. So I suppose pushing myself to draw difficult things pays off?
