    That’s SUPPOSED to be funny. He’s setting a bad precedent for the boy

    Drop a turkey on the other foot, John. Maybe you’ll buy a clue.

    have to go now after many years enjoying this strip. I’m one of the NRA Life Members who Ms. Johnson feels uncomfortable with. Who knew we weren’t welcome!

    Why is Elly even in the kitchen? A good woman trains her husband properly, making sure he does all the domestic chores as cleaning as well as the cooking, after he returns home from work.

    Actually John intended to say it loud enough for her to hear the comment, not behind her back. Grab his paper and read it yourself and send him into the kitchen!

    My honey and I pick on each other all the time, keeps things fresh and interesting. It’s all done in a playful manner. Like someone else pointed out, they were just laughing at John.

    Liver stuff and olives mixed with fish sound pretty good to me. Even cheese stuff could be good.

    Elly must cook better than my mom. Mom couldn’t cook water without burning it, as evidenced by the pile of new looking tea kettles piled up in the basement — all with the bottoms burned out of them. (If mom didn’t burn out a tea kettle in three weeks, it was a record.)

     

    I’m afraid I don’t understand how this is possible. I’ve had the same tea kettle for maybe 20 years and have never had a problem with the bottom burning because it whistles — LOUDLY and ANNOYINGLY! — when the water is hot/boiling and it won’t stop until the stove is turned off and the kettle removed from the burner [therefore ensuring that that doesn’t happen]. Has none of your mother’s tea kettles ever had this feature?

    If John doesn’t like Elly’s cooking, he has two options: get her cooking lessons or step up and do better. Undercutting her to his son isn’t helpful. It’s passive aggressive.

    Well, John … if I’d heard that one, you’d have been doing the cooking for the next year. At least … see how funny you find those remarks …
