@drkala Jane stopped to top off “just in case”. As a lifelong offroader, you learn to top off the tank early on. You never know when you might have to use a lot of gas trying to get unstuck. And you really never know when you might get lost in unfamiliar territory. Having to spend the night stuck in the desert gets cold, so you make sure you have the option of the heater. (I grew up in the desert she’s in)
I have come to the conclusion that a number of the people who read and comment on this strip have a serious hate on for Elly. It’s a family, people. Ya know, one of those things that happens when two humans join together and decide to have more little humans? At no point did any of them become super human. Mom’s clean up kids’ rooms. They don’t do it to obliterate their child’s toys, they do it because the child either doesn’t do it themselves or wouldn’t realize that the broken toy that they haven’t thrown out themselves could be hazardous if they were to step on it and injure themselves… Children step away from parents in busy places. It happens. Not due to neglect or anything like that, simply a child’s curiosity when the parent is distracted for a split second. Elly NEVER accused Farley of eating her chives, if YOU inferred that, then the blame is on you. All this is, is a series of scenes of a dog with vile breath and Elly just happens to notice that her chives are thin again….. who’s to say a less than honest neighbor didn’t pinch them.
Seriously people, stop for a moment and see past your own issues with your mother, quit trying to show the world how smart you are, and enjoy the comic strip! It was written to amuse, not make some sort of statement!
Is it just me or is dubstep a ripoff (or possibly a refinement) of ’80s breakdancing?
