Starts with Bang, Ends with a Whimper
It was busy for me today. We have an 8-year-old visiting our 8-year-old to spend the night. They are sort of sleeping now.
Today's strip was hard to snark and tomorrow's is even worse. When the point of the strip is for the Pattersons to compliment each other, as it was today, or to cling to each other in fear of the dreaded internet, as it is tomorrow; what can you do with that? Unless I leap into the absurd and plot how April's computer is taking over the world or has started sneaking out of the room to terrorize Elly and John. There's an idea that would never fly.
It is sad. The week started so well, with 4 of the best strips to come out of For Better or For Worse in awhile and then the sequence ends with this junk.
Well, I completely forgot today was non-uniform day at school, so I missed the opportunity to snark on April's jeans colour and her choice of jewelry. Tomorrow is Tantric Celebacy, which qnjones has promised to helm. My boy has a chess tournament early tomorrow morning until late in the day, so I expect I will not be able to join in until much later. Don't wait on me, in other words.

Do the pee-drinkers (RP Boire) have an out-of-uniform day every Friday? I've so lost track. :)
I don't know how often R.P. Boire has an out-of-uniform day. It was mentioned in April's February monthly letter as Friday of next week, which would have been yesterday.

Wouldn't "next week" have meant Friday the 10th? (Letters came out Wednesday, February 1; the following Friday was the 10th.)

You're right. I really missed it.
