April Complains About Elizabeth Part II

In today's For Better or For Worse, April makes a pretty good point about not wanting to be treated like a kid again, just because Elizabeth moves back in the house. Unfortunately for her, her dad zones out and makes a pun. In April's Real Blog, we took him to task for this, for a variety of reasons.

The two posts I was proudest of where the Constable Paul Wright post, about his difficulty in understanding the Patterson punning, and also his recounting of his treatment by John Patterson, when he reeled off a series of puns similar to the one in the strip, except each one was a personal insult of Paul.

The second post came from Howard as he discusses John Patterson's punning and Elizabeth Patterson in general with a group of unusually knowledgable, but gossipy Milborough women. I essentially went through all the Liz / Anthony strips on-line and created the Liz / Anthony story. The evidence against Liz is fairly damning if you read it all at once. I was intrigued by the idea that all of Liz and Anthony's public gatherings would have been observed and discussed by old ladies in Milborough.

Tomorrow's strip: I took this one apart in the FOOBiverse's Journal. So many places where the hands look deformed, and the instrumental setup was nonsensical. However, there was just a hint of Eva / Duncan, so it will be interesting to see what the strip does with that relationship.
