Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for October 13, 2013

And years from now, he will regret not playing games with her.

now that he can still beat her at those games. Later she gets smart and wins all the time.

That is why big brother is bored.

She’s so glad to see him, and he would rather be bored?

He needs to learn how. Pobrecito.

Heartless %^$^#$$

They’ll figure it out. In about 14-15 years he’ll be beating up his friends – who will want to date her.

…….and so it came to pass that the word ‘Bubba’ was formed.

Good one!

Unlike For Better Or Worse, Jan has often stated the family doesn’t age much, or if at all! I think I remember a strip where Holly went from 12 to 13, but after that – no movement!

You’re suppose to talk back to your sister and encourage her, Max.

“…does it appear that Max has aged a bit?” I think so and Luci looks like she’s aged a bit, too… ;)

Our sixteen-year-old “Max” has no use for his youngest sister. The other two are his buddies. Sad.

Max appears to be wearing a shrug. Nothing wrong with that, just seems an odd clothing choice for a teenage (not sure his age?) boy.

Shame on you Max, shame, shame!

Max should play with his sister. I think his t-shirt just has contrasting sleeves. I think he looks a bit older, too, in this view. Last we knew, I thought he was about three years old.
