Dear Mom
Dear Mom,
In today’s reprint of For Better or For Worse, Elly attempts to write a letter to her mother while her children show more affection for her than they have in the last year. I suppose this means that Michael and Lizzie are like the cat who doesn’t want you to read the newspaper and jumps in your lap every time you try. This is the letter, as it appears:
Dear Mom,

And now I will fill in the blanks for you, to help you understand what Elly was trying to say.
Dear Mom,
Just thought.some thoughts. It was very exciting.
I hope you can think too.
Michael is very dirty. No matter how much I scrub him, he never comes clean. However,
his teachers say he is a troublemaker and will never amount to anything.
We are looking forward to when
Phil will be coming to visit us, but mainly Connie is. We
can put both of them together. I made cookies out of scratch, but I
ate so much dough, I threw up. I was a mess
but should be able to convince John that the
chocolate chips sticking to the chesterfield came from
pockets full of melted cookies and not mine.
The pattern you see on the chesterfield
don[ ]is close to the pattern of the chesterfield. The kids were concerned but I told
them Lizzie is infected, and I got her disease.
Elly and Mr. Porn head, John

Which is a joke Lynn never used owing to her fear and hatred of cats; it's a pity because it's a solid joke that anyone can do without screwing up too much. As for your filled in blanks, it's funnier than what Lynn came up with.

Probably true. Of all the pets, Shiimsa the cat was rarely shown in a positive light, even less than the electricity-loving rabbit.
Loved the way you filled in the missing parts of the letter, howtheduck. Especially the signature line. :)
aprilp_katje,
Thanks. I miss those old strips where Lynn would write one side of a conversation and used to fill in the other side in April's Real Blog.
