Snifff. Aaahhhh!
Today’s strip was filled with nonsensical dialogue, much like Saturday’s was. I guess the Lynnions can’t be bothered to read the dialogue to see if makes sense anymore. The way it sounded, it was like April escaped to go to the farm and either April left an odour or John has developed the ability to smell the size of things.
Oddly enough, this was intended to lead into tomorrow’s strip, where John finally shows Elly the retirement house after talking about it in the monthly letters since last June. One thing I did realize in the June, 2005 monthly of John’s, was that John suggests the means by which he can get April out of the house so she will not have to be moved to the retirement house and that is “foreign exchange student.” That seems unlikely for this year, but I suppose it is possible for next year, instead of my idea that April decides to stay in Winnipeg.
I am curious as to how far this strip sequence is going to go. I always thought Elly and John couldn’t move to the retirement house until Mike and Deanna were ready to buy the old house. This means to expect the sequence of Mike best-selling author to go very, very quickly, if Elly acquiesces to John’s request. The more likely choice is for them to discuss it and the subject doesn’t come up again for a few more months.
My dad and step-mom moved into their retirement house a few years ago. My step-mom started getting bad arthritis, so they decided a 2-story house with steep stairs was not the best choice. And boom! In two months they sold their old house, bought a new 1-story house, and moved in. I would be impressed if that happened with John and Elly, and even more impressed if they did it all while April was at the farm. However, I am getting ready for the long wait for someone to take action.

And here we go. Pattersons, just read each other's friggin' letters. You'll save us so much time that way!
Even discounting the monthly letters which describe John as obsessing over the place for a year, we still had in the strip John show April the place months ago. The fact that John waits until April is out of town to show it to Elly is creeping me out. What kind of hold does she have over him?
