I think the Truddleys handled it very well. They didnât walk up to Ellie and say congratulations or ask if sheâs pregnant. If youâre not, saying either one is very deflating. Once they found out their suspicions were right, they reacted very nicely too. They didnât say âat your age?â or âdo you think thatâs fair to your other two to disrupt the household?â Both of those opinions are upsetting and serve no purpose for the mother to be whoâs happy and excited.
The buck teeth on the youngest Truddley is Lynn Johnstonâs usual giveaway of how she wants the readers to consider these characters. This is their first and only appearance in the comic strip. It is also the first appearance of pregnant Elly in the Sunday comic strips.

That was pretty smooth. The timing on the back end may have been a bit off, but still, well played Turddleys. (yeah)

There is nothing romantic about a baby. What an odd thing to say. The sex that caused the pregnancy may have been romantic, but not the results.

And for all Elly knows, that âPay upâ comment could have related to an entirely different matter. We readers know better, but Elly wouldnât.
