April and Elizabeth Apart Again
In this strip back on September 2, April predicts how life with Elizabeth will be.
1. Everyone’s gonna start treating me like a KID again!
2. She’s gonna boss me around, an’hassle me about stuff
3. An’ I’m gonna bug her.
April’s prediction, of course, was completely accurate. As I scanned through the strips of Elizabeth and April over the last month, the only time they got along well was the Sunday colour strip of them wrapping Christmas presents to w(rap) music, and then this strip we had today. To be fair, the bulk of the time, April is picking a fight with Elizabeth, usually by prying into Elizabeth’s personal affairs by the ever-offensive method of asking questions.
The irony of today’s strip is that for once they are talking about something important to April and Elizabeth is not trying to turn it into something about herself, and this event does not happen until Elizabeth is packing to leave.

Huh--I would have thought that we'd get a Mike-centric birthday strip for tomorrow, but no. I just saw the strip for tomorrow (Sunday, 4/29), and it's dentist-centric!
Looking over the strips of the past, Mike's birthday has not been mentioned since before 2002. April's birthday has gotten mentioned every year. I would suspect Mike's birthday is getting squished in favour of April's birthday, since they are close in date, but a lot of the other characters don't have their birthdays celebrated either. April and Grandpa Jim have gotten pretty regular notice, but Elly and John's birthdays seem to be celebrated on anniversaries ending with 5.
