Throughout the strip the Patterson residence was shown to be progressively nicer, which corresponded to Elly being on firmer ground at her business and John’s practice built up. However, the Pattersons were never shown with a maid nor a Lexus, which the comic strip brought Lynn Johnston. Did Lynn believe that would be a turnoff to fans if Elly was shown as a successful cartoonist?
I stand corrected. I only saw as far as the strips with the running gag where John buys something and Elly moans how they are going to the poorhouse because of this.

I don’t like it when people watch me either. And your comments aren’t helping, Michael.
