Death by Boredom or by Jogging?
For today’s strip, I knew it was going to be a stretch to snark anything about it. Ultimately, Jeremy Jones did a snark on Connie Poirier’s hovering as she jogs. Otherwise, my characters mainly leapt on aprilp_katje’s post as April that she let Gerald go under her bra. I was glad this was one of those days when aprilp_katje included lots of extra material over and above the actual strip, or there would have been nothing.
Tomorrow’s strip: We are now back to Elly visiting Lilliput’s after Moira has made her changes. I don’t know what more Lynn can do with Elly here, aside from what she has already done in tomorrow’s strip. It is possible, however, that we may be started on an April story having to do with her working in Lilliput’s without mom being the owner, as was mentioned prominently in the June monthly letters. As far as the character development goes, it gives more proof that the success of Lilliput’s during Elly’s ownership, depended primarily on Moira Kinney’s own work ethic, since Elly was obviously no good at dealing with customers.

I take Moira's decor changes as a mild shout-out to us, since I had ARB Moira tell April ages ago that she was going to pull the stars and moons down from the ceiling, and you had her yanking out the trains at the first opportunity. :)
It could be a mild shout-out or just being practical. The trains had to go or Moira would have to deal with John Patterson regularly and nobody wants that. The stars and moons have always been questionable. My boy has a mobile hanging from his ceiling and the wires constantly get tangled and people's (my) head runs into them.
You, Moira, and I agree that the stars and moons have always been questionable, but Elly seemingly thought they were just grand! ;)
Elly has always been questionable in her decorating and clothing choices, no doubt reflecting Lynn Johnston. She has not looked remotely glamourous since her young days. Unfortunately, Liz and April do not seem to get the opportunity to be glamourous either.
