You guys who knock Ellie are nuts. She is a perfectly normal mom, with some aspects exaggerated for comedy. And if you think that is a reason for a husband to leave, you have MUCH more of a problem than Ellie or Lynn ever thought of!
Oh, and for the person who noticed the s- wow! Good one!
Just bought the something old, something new treasuary yesterday. It’s great. I especially love the comments she wrote under the pictures.
In case no one noticed this before, in FBOFW website, lynn comments on almost all of her strips.
Here is today’s -
Lynn’s Notes:
We got a new fridge shortly after moving north. I ordered it from the Sears catalogue - which was the one stop shopping for everyone living in the “boonies”. Everything came by train or truck and often took weeks to materialize. Clothing was always a risk - just because we all went to the same functions and were often caught wearing the same things.
My new fridge was a beauty. I organized everything inside and put some colourful alphabet magnets on the door in preparation for the photos, notes and doodles I looked forward to hanging there.
Kate, who was toddling and full of mischief, saw the magnets and before I could stop her, started to “scrub” them around, scratching the surface of my new fridge. I had only had it one day before it was “broken” in - and I was broken hearted. “Not sweating the small stuff” was hard sometimes!
What a rotten little kid! I guess he’s getting her back for all the “nagging” she did at him yesterday … even though at his age, they were all things he should have automatically known to do in the first place without being told.
I know he’s being mischievious, but this is still disrespectful. Without going ballistic on him, he needs to learn this. You don’t call adults, let alone your mother, fat.

It looks like Michael is going to get a “time out.”

How does one get a magnetic “S” to stick reversed?

It’s honest, but it’s not politically correct.

Derkins, forget “politically correct.” It’s just not safe.

Look out, Mike. She might throw a perfume bottle at you…

It’s easy to get the “S” to stick in a reversed position, just turn it upside down.
Michael is a dead man walking.
Elly isn’t fat. She may be a bit oveweight, but she is far from fat.
Calvin Nelson Nelson Premium Member over 13 years ago
Sorry cat lady that doesn’t work an “S” upside down looks the same.
But I always grant the artist creative license in theses situations. It’s just to bleeep nit picky to do otherwise.

Mike is a smart kid. He probably reversed the magnet, so the ‘holding’ side was on the plastic side and yeah.

Michael owns the special “cute kid” magnetic alphabet set, which includes some reversed letters.

In later years, he would likely say “Mom is phat”.

Michael needs to be sent to his room. What a brat!
