One Good, One Bad List

First panel. This sentence has two lists of adjectives. What’s wrong with the bad one? I speak of grammar, of course.
You’re right (I hope)! The second list is redundant. Both words mean the same thing. The first list has words with (technically) different meanings, so that list is grammatically okay.
Far means a long way away. Distant (in this context) means not hostile but not interested in contact. They intensify each other.
