Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for July 31, 2009

Get the sense that Holly’s not really buying in?

It’s just the typical teenage know-it-all cynicism. Is she trying to play along a little bit in the last panel, or is she just being extra sarcastic?

Oh, don’t worry, Holly loves it. She’ll never ADMIT it, but she loves it.

Answering lightenup–Holly is just being as sarky as she normally is, no extra measure.

I sense a lesson coming over the horizon…

Point made, Grandma, can we go home now?

Where’s the adventure. Lets find more treasures. When my kids where small to get them to clean their rooms esp my son. I told them have a treasure hunt. He was excited to find stuff. He got the job done. Holly ought to this adventure as a treasure hunt. At least she is out of the house.

I’m waiting for Holly to say, “There’s a fossil standing in front of us.”

eatteaphonenome same thing im waiting for her to say.

You know the stone age? Well, that was the plastic age. Everything was made out of it-shoes, lunch boxes, cars, electronics, and pretty much everything you can think of.
