Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for November 18, 2013

Potato bugs! Haven’t seen one in years. I used to think they were the ugliest creepiest of bugs until I looked closely and found that their bodies were much like grasshoppers.

Never grow up.

Max talking!

Actually, there was a storyline a few years ago in which Max hits his head and starts taking very fluently for a couple of weeks.

Cool! Enjoy your childhood! I remember playing with potato bugs. Lots of fun to get them to roll up.

And does all the cat and dog poop count as a “BONUS!” too??

Just glad to see we are out of the department store with Val and Rena.

Also haven’t thought of potato bugs in years. lol Such wonderful childhood memories growing up in Auburn, Ca.

Great pink lips you have in panel two Holly!! I didn’t know you also wear lipstick.

Eww!!!!

Post Halloween gag?

I’m thinking the ‘potato bugs’ Holly is referring to are what we used to call pill bugs or rolly-pollys, not Jerusalem crickets. At least, I hope so!
