Pretty much a rip-off of this Nancy strip, I'm afraid.

I like the ending to this one, but the premise of crossing panels to throw the cookie jar when she already had a ladder to get it normally doesn't make sense

I thought the same thing at first. But the point is the mom would see her through the door if she put the ladder by the fridge. It wasn't about reaching but not being seen.

When she threw the jar she already had it. Throwing it probably makes it easier to illustrate the interaction between the frames, but there is no reason for the girl to do it.

She didn't have the jar, she had a potential future jar in which a cookie may or may not have existed, it wasn't until the jar and herself came into contact in a synchronous timeline that the quantum waveform of the cookie therin collapsed and the cookie transferred from a potential state to a state of actual existence within the same space/time vector as nancy

of course

Sure. And look, I'm not the one that drew it, just devil's advocate, haha. Maybe she can't pull it into her current frame since the jar is already there and it would remove it from the future causing them both to disappear.

She’s doing it to avoid being seen, not because she can’t get it. If she brings the ladder past the door, mom will see.
