Elizabeth almost never talks specific grades, just like Michael before her. However, just like Michael before her, there have been a lot of jokes about Elizabeth trying to do anything but complete her homework. There have also been a few jokes about Dawn doing well in school compared to Elizabeth, just like there used to be jokes about Brian doing well in school compared to Michael.
The closest we got to a grade consequence for that from Michael was the comic strip last December where he told Rhetta that he had not made it into Western University (as we readers were led to believe initially), but instead was having to take classes at a 2-year college in order to get the grades necessary to prove that he should be accepted at Western University.
SPOILER this last part (Don’t read if you don’t want to know):
When Elizabeth gets to her university days, there will be many comic strips where she laments how poor her grades are and how hard she has to work just to make those grades. Admittedly, my opinion of Elizabeth’s abilities as a student are strongly influenced by those comic strips. Many of the comic strips of Elizabeth procrastinating and not doing her homework during her middle school and high school years are played for laughs, so you don’t really know if she pays the price for that.
I can’t say the same. He signed an Executive Order to get rid of the 14th Amendment Section 1 to the Constitution after just having taken an oath to preserve the Constitution. I laughed and laughed. I was quite delighted.
We can only hope. The worst case scenario is that she comes back looking basically the same and all the other characters have to pretend to like the new look.
Right. We are used to the idea of the deadbeat dad who abandons his kids, but there are some deadbeat moms out there. Elly never leaves her kids, but this joke pops up from time to time to imply that Elly’s children think she might leave.
The most amazing part to me is just how often those tough family dynamics would make it into the comic strip presented as jokes (like today). If you ever see a punchline in this comic strip that is a little unsettling, chances are it was based on a real life situation for Lynn Johnston.
Why? It just implies he is 4 years older than Bernice and Luann – around Brad’s age.
More than 4 years. The requirements to be a Navy medic mean that you have to be licensed to practice medicine, so he’s a doctor or at least in a Graduate Medical Education (GHE). To be a firefighter like Brad, you have to pass the California State Fire Marshal’s Accredited Regional Fire Academy, which does not take as long.
