    when Mom was sick, Dad made making soup and waffles for dinner for him and Calvin… so let us hope Luann’s father isn’t planning to make the same thing

    Bad choice to impersonating your Dad before he makes dinner and your Dad looks startled by the bad acting. BTW, did Luann give the pill to the dog, Pubbles?

    Ah, I like this silly Luann. Making light of the situation. We mimic each other in my family and we laugh about that.

    I think Frank has mastered Nancy’s sarcasm. However, Luann’s impression of her father needs a little work.

    So… does no evening involve Frank being at the establishment he owns? Must be nice to not put in any appearances whatsoever and just expect everything to run smoothly.

    There is only one problem with the wife going off to work. For most people work blows, seriously. My poor wife comes back from some terrible days in the office. It’s beyond me why people strive for such a dubious prize; you get to work for 1. corporate America or 2. the government. Yuck. “Death by PowerPoint” here we come.

    I understand why Nancy wants to go to work, but there is a lot more to bartending then opening a bottle of beer or pouring a glass of wine. And by the way, where are Brad and Toni, we have not seen them for months

    Me thinks this strip is just a place holder for this arc while K and G think up adventures for Mom at the Fuze. That could be more interesting. Maybe an employee who doesn’t realize Mom is the OWNER will be doing something illegal and ask if she wants “in” on the scam. Anyway, that’s how MY mind works. If I could draw, I’d have so much fun making a strip…..

    The “snarking” will STOP, after Luann samples Frank’s “cooking.”

    Luann MIGHT want to have some bicarbonate of soda handy.

    I think this arc is pretty entertaining. Sure it’s based in stereotypes—the intrepid wife returning to work leaving her spoiled and untrained family to fend for themselves but it does have Luann front and center for a change and I think she and Frank will figure it out and eventually become a great “home front team”. I only hope we also get to see Nancy’s learning curve at The Fuse so really hilarity can ensure from all sides. This is good stuff. They should all grow on the process.

    Frank knows how to be a great and fun father ♡.Luann is really good at acting. She knows how to be dramatic, how to be serious and, especially, how to be comic, really a lot comic. I hope that one day she will return on the stage. Maybe with Fay.

    So many expect dinner to be ready as soon as they walk in the door. When I was a stay at home wife, I was thankful mine wanted to relax a bit before eating. It took pressure off both of us. 47 years married.

    Does Frank regularly come home and complain about traffic, meetings, and his day at work? How often have we seen that? In a lot of strips that’s the basis for much of the humor, but honestly I didn’t know for sure that Frank even had a job. This strip is really stretching, trying to be a 1970s sitcom.

    This is ridiculous. Its 2020, not 1950. Why are we having so many strips about cooking dinner? My 12 year old helps with dinner as does my 9 year old. My husband cooks dinner often. Am I the only one that has people that help “mom’s” work? I am also gone sometimes at night and guess what? Everyone manages to have dinner without much ado.

    Frank says “..I’ll be mom tonight…” implying he has the intact view that it is mom’s job to make dinner. But he will take that role for now. He could have just said ’I’ll make dinner tonight". This family is finally moving on from the 1950/60’s with Nancy as June Cleaver. better late than never.

    I have to laugh and shake my head at people who think making dinner begins at dinnertime. Anyone who makes the family meals knows that the meal planning sometimes starts 24-48 hours in advance – as in thawing out the frozen stuff – and then making sure your kitchen has all the recipe ingredients on hand, and so on.

    There was a period of time in my youth, around 20 I believe if memory serves, when my father and I had to go out on the road together to work. Long story as to why….but for about a year I had to do all the cooking. Dad was the type that was spoiled by mom in the capacity that she was a stay at home mom, cooked every night, laundry, kept house clean, etc etc. Fortunately I took it upon myself in my teenage years to learn how to cook, figuring I’d be a bachelor for awhile, and no better teacher than dear mother. Anyway, dad expected it every night and mine was not to question. I got pretty good at it. But I DID make him do his own laundry!

    I notice that there is a theme pointing out that 2020 families don’t resemble the 1950’s TV families, and in fact on TV shows like Modern Family there has been a lot of progress in mass media. I think though that this arc is a humorous way for the strip to reflect that progress. There is always a tension between a family strip, and change; for example how Greg approaches Gawd. Sometimes references to a basically Christian deity is hard to avoid, and no matter which way the strip goes on that, Greg and Karen are going to draw shade. So in my mind I remain interested in the slow progression of how this major change in the fundamental family theme will affect the characters and the storylines in the strip. It ought to be interesting.

    So far there’s no originality shown with this trope. Frank doesn’t act that way with Nancy, as Luann portrays. But Frank may be channeling Nancy with his response.

    They’re lousy at role play. I hope Luann (as Frank) doesn’t try to get fresh with “Nancy.” Now that would be “hilarity ensuing.”

    And why does Frank need such a large pot for the two of them. He’s acting like Frank, not Nancy.
