    When a woman says that…she never means it.

    Happy Birthday, Qu-eye? Is Chief missing something here?

    Hey, it’s a woman’s perogative to change her mind….especially if gifts might be in the offing.

    Is the message here that “NO doesn’t really mean no”?

    IIRC, she’s named Queen Iris.

    “You shouldn’t” is used the same way in, “You shouldn’t eat that second dessert,” but people do it anyway.

    “It’s a woman’s perogative to change her mind”, more momism propaganda designed to snow little boys into being submissime men… . .bah!

    It’s also her prerogative to change my mind.

    She should get together with King Fink.

    C’mon, everyone says, “You shouldn’t have!” or something like that – it’s just a way of saying, “I appreciate your hard work.” The joke is on the saying itself, not on the queen.

    — That’s Queen Ida ??? - right ???

    — I haven’t seen her in this strip in a very long time… One of the little ants was slavishly in love with her over many years (and she took his presents again and again but didn’t give a hoot about him, “poor sap”).

    — I thought Johnny Hart was trying to tell us something; perhaps about a relationship in his own life - but he’s (sigh !) gone now - so this will probably be different.

    Richard, the old adage about a woman changing her mind predates the feminist movement by a couple of centuries.

    I believe it’s “Queeny”, by the way. As it “Queen” + “Eye”

    I believe it’s “Q Eye” as in “Q. I.” as in “Queen Ida.”

    I doubt Her Royal Majesty Ida Regina Gloriana would appreciate being called “Queeny”, even on her birthday.

    I’m as confused as some of these commentators about the Q and the eye written on the birthday banner.

    Maybe it was supposed to be “eye Q”, referring to the Queen’s lofty intelligence, but the ants have dailysex…

    I mean “dyslexia”.

    It seems like the juggler ant’s feet ought to be visible beneath the banner in the last panel…
