Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for March 30, 2015

You broke her, Holly!

“Wait, what?” indeed, Val. Did Holly actually do good on her papers? Say it ain’t so!

Who are you and what have you done with our lovable slacker? ;-D

That will show mom.

Jump Start, which follows this strip in my lineup, has a similar storyline.

Whoops!

Is this a set-up for an April Fool’s joke?

Sorry to be the partypooper but it could just be grade inflation.

I don’t believe for one moment Holly got all A’s. More like “liar liar pants on fire”.

Holly’s got her on autopilot!

I heard that from my dad once after getting straight A’s, but a couple were sub-100.

Holly went off script, but Val wasn’t paying attention.

Can this be true?

That caught Val on what Holly said. As a commenter stated wonder if April’s Fools?

Hee hee hee!

I would want some physical proof before accepting her story. Show me the report card!

Grades today are usually online, and parents can check them in real time. And Val is savvy enough to know this if she wants to check….

Just cool it! If you don’t like what Jan’s doing, don’t read the strip.

Jan did draw a background, you just don’t see the white wall.

Holly’s problem: Not dumb blond, but lazy blond. Not the first time this has happened. She can do it if she puts her mind to it.

Has our girl done another 180???
