Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for July 20, 2015

Oh, happy day.

My first guess is measles of some type or chicken pox. Holly is a bit old for those I would hope. Maybe she has been out in the woods with Alix and found some poison Ivy?

Hopefully it’s just hives.

Body acne.

Shark week, Wedding week……a coincidence? I think not.

Well, it’s never boring at their house.

Am betting on measle

WEDDING WEEK IS THIS WEEK SINCE THAT WEDDING DATE IS THIS SATURDAY!

Alix, patch it. Joan, get a cake mix. Phil, have a third thought. Holly, see a doctor. Val, stop worrying, it’s gonna be fine!

Maybe Val is still dreaming and this is a nightmare.

Oh no…don’t tell me she has the chicken pox!

I was going to guess Holly had a bad breakout of acne, but with it being on the hands and arms, I’m guessing chicken pox too.

Oh no Holly!!

Reality is worse than reality?

I can get poison ivy just looking at a picture of it & within hours covered from head to toe. Since Holly appears to be covered all over in dots, that’ll be my guess. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.

A flight to Las Vegas for the whole wedding party is much cheaper than all the other BS of a wedding. This is assumably her second one, after all.

The middle panel is not really happening, it is part of her dream. Notice the wavy line for that one panel.

Agree — middle panel tells us dream. As for Holly — maybe she found a stray sharpie and her ego got the best of her…

the remarkable thing for me is, I have 2 weddings to go to at the end of this week!
