    If you ask more nicely, Michael, with ā€œpleaseā€ and no insults, maybe sheā€™ll let you in. (Iā€™ve always been wondering how come WIlma never answered the door banging and yelling from Fred after the saber-toothed cat locked him out each and every night.)

    Michael, itā€™s going to be a long summer for you.

    Michael do you really think insulting her will motivate her to open the door for you? This is the time to say nice things. But itā€™s too late. I hope youā€™re stuck out on that stoop for an hour waiting for the parents to come home.

    Iā€™m with Elizabeth here. It isnā€™t wise to insult the only person who can let you in. I hope he gets wet from the rain, so heā€™ll learn his lesson.

    Isnā€™t Lizzie too young to be left alone with no adult home? In todayā€™s world, God forbid something happened, the parents would be in deep trouble. That said, my mother worked and my brother and I were left alone after school until she came home from work (we were 6 and 7)ā€¦.so for about 3 hours. Key was hidden outside; we let ourselves in. But we DID have disasters that included death of a pet and once a doctor visit for stitchesā€¦. This was early 1960s.

    Uhm, it doesnā€™t help calling her names when you need her help. Stoopid.

    Michael should have been alot nicer to Elizabeth! Calling her insulting bad names like Elizabutt and E-lizardbreath shall backfire on him :)

    I was thinking I hadnā€™t heard ā€œlizard breathā€ much if at all yet, and here is Lynn

    Lynnā€™s Comments: Girls with the name ā€œElizabethā€ did not appreciate this strip. I recently heard from a reader who said that after all these years, her brother still calls her ā€œlizard breath!ā€

    Maybe she would have opened the door if Michael had been nicer.

    I have to admit, ā€˜doorknobā€™ is a pretty funny insult. Iā€™ll have to work that into my rotation.

    Keep it up Elizabethā€¦ remember when he called you ā€œfour-eyesā€ a few days ago? Maybe you should just go take a nap. If you do let him in, he may become violent towards youā€¦
