And Then There's Shannon Part II
Shannon fares a little better in today’s For Better or For Worse. She lets April talk about her situation a little and her therapy example wasn’t completely self-centered. Since I had been playing up Shannon as upset that Eva had taken her place in the Becky comforting arena, I decided to have a little Shannon and Eva confrontation. Shannon does basically function as the comedic sidekick to April’s cowboy. When the Cisco Kid went after a woman, Pancho was usually unceremoniously kicked to the side and he would usually encourage Cisco, if things went wrong. So, I decided to have Eva make the comparison to April and Shannon. Of course, no one their age would have heard of the Cisco Kid, so I decided to have Eva march down the list of majour cowboy sidekicks and their embarrassing names.

Gah, "prayer" again. What the frig to do with that? Flat, flat, flat.
The Pattersons, who used to be blatantly Christian, with appearances at church services and the like, have moved to a different sort of religion. It's the religion where prayer means thinking about the old or dead, and where it is perfectly fine to be buried in a cemetery with religious affectations abounding. It is a more subtle, and less offensive religion, guaranteed not to prevent people from non-Christian religions from enjoying reading about the Pattersons.
