Career Selection Strip Part 1
In today’s For Better or For Worse, April Patterson considers her career as a vet, while the April clone continues to do farm work. I suppose the question of how April can work the farm and work the vet clinic is not going to be addressed by anything more than her awful hand pun from last week. On the plus side, April finds organizing supplies super interesting, which most people would not. On the minus side, April finds there is another animal she can’t handle in the rooster and she is intimidated by large syringes. That’s 1 For and 2 Against. In tomorrow’s strip, April learns that veterinarians, or at least veterinarians related to her father make terrible puns on the job. So that’s 2 For and 2 Against. I’m sure any job where punning is allowed has to appeal to April.
As for my posts of the day, Jeremy Jones is diving off into the land of the absurd. One of the characters visiting Eva’s parents makes a reference to Steve Trevor, which long time Wonder Woman fans would recognize as her long-suffering boyfriend. There’s only about 1 year left in the strip, and I seriously doubt Eva’s background will be touched anywhere outside the monthly letters, so I thought it would be amusing to add something a little unusual to that story.
As a word of explanation, the whole goat-headed monster story from Sunday was set up to imply Duncan made up a story to get himself back to Milborough and insult Auntie Perdita and goat baby, and the twist was that he really didn't. There actually was a goat-headed monster.

Sorry I didn't follow up on your post regarding Eva's unusual background. I thought it was intriguing, but I couldn't think of anything for my characters to say about it. Nor did April know what to say about whether Duncan has to power to cause goat monsters to appear. :)
The goat monster story was primarily intended for the_berserker and susannamoodie, should they care to use it.
As for Eva's background, the only character you regularly use that would have had a comment on it would have been Eva, to give her take on the goat monster story and the consequences of it. It's OK that she chooses not to respond also. Maybe she doesn't want to talk about it.
My words were primarily for the point of explanation, since Jeremy was floating off into the land of the absurd (as I myself often do), and it may not have been obvious what was going on.
