    It’s yellow Lawrence. I think the syndicate colorist thinks this is Brian Enjo and not Lawrence Poirier. Oh colorist. Brian has a different hairstyle and those eyes are not Brian’s eyes.

    Mine always cleaned, so we wouldn’t notice our house was Party Central.

    What happened to their long road trip? Did April prove to be too much for even them to handle?

    Just wait ’til the electric bills arrive—not to mention bills from the liquor store!

    Panel 1: Your parents will know that you’ve been drinking. Panel 2: Your parents will know that you’ve had people over when you’re not supposed to. Panel 3: Rhetta looks like she just got caught raiding the cookie jar at 2 A.M… Panel 4: is that Lawrence or Brian?

    I was giving Mike too much credit. I thought he was sharper than to wait until the last moment to straighten up before his folks get home. Those dirty plates and fried chicken container are gonna smell some kind of ripe when found under the bed!

    Chill out, Mike! I don’t recall your parents warning you against parties.

    So, neither one of them know to put used chicken bones in the trash? Who raised these people?

    What happened to the smug Michael who dreamily said “Yeah” about staying home while Elizabeth had to go on the trip? No superior attitude today, huh Mike?

    This makes me laugh. As if hiding all the evidence is going to do anything. It will all be discovered in the end. Ha… kind of like politics. ;D

    What was the point of them entering customs yesterday if they’re coming back the next day? I thought they were taking a long route through some of the US.

    Elly is going to ream Michael when she sees this. A messy house indicates to her that at this point in his life he has not “figured it out” and that he is unable to take care of himself.

    Since the Pattersons planned to go to Detriot, would we see this strip?

    Patterson car is driving through the ghetto

    April: Look, chocolate people!

    Elizabeth: Quiet!

    John: Elly, I do not like the looks of this neighborhood.

    Elly: It is important for our kids to witness the struggle.

    Michael has had three weeks to clean the house. He needs to do a better job about time management.

    Mike should be a member of Procrastinators Anonymous, if he ever gets around to it.
