Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for March 17, 2015

Jealous granddaughter.

@annamargaret1866, I replied to your comment on yesterday’s strip.

Baboons are dangerous; they’re wild animals. People and tourists are always being warned not to feed them because they become dependent on that. Also their habitat is dwindling due to building development so they start coming into people’s homes to find food. Here in Durban we have the same problem with the Vervet monkeys, but I think the baboons are more aggressive than the monkeys.

I just rolled off my chair laughing! :-D :-D :-D

Well…we might have KNOWN Alix would want to go there as soon as she saw THAT!!!

Joanhelen, she responded on yesterday

She’s gonna make a great vet.

Maybe Evie should take Holly & Alix to Capetown after the wedding. The girls could see the world, and Val & Phil could have a honeymoon. That could be Evie’s present to them.

Alix would have a blast with grandma. And Val and Phil get to have more time after married.

But if they get married in June/July, won’t it be winter in South Africa? Perhaps not such a great time to visit. JoanHelen, what’s the weather like at that time of year?

here comes Jane Goodall II….

Sorry Alix.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

And then there’s the chimpanzee that was raised like a human child, and when he grew up tore an unfortunate woman’s face off.

Jan, you just have to let Alex go to Africa come summer vacation!
