I KNOW that these comics are reruns, but I seem to remember that in the original comics, April, who I know will not yet be born in these classics, would spend her summers at her uncle’s farm. By “uncle,” I assume he was either John’s brother or Elly’s. My questions is: Is that brother Phil or someone else?
Arye Uygur - Elly has one brother named Phil. The brother your thinking of is actually John’s brother in Law, Danny, who is married to his sister Beverley. Who has a daughter named Laura. Where all three of them live on a farm.
These three are based off of Lynn’s real in laws, except the real Beverly (can’t remember real name at momment) had three daughters not one.
Oh bleeep, that old hide-a-bed is broken! That’s a shame. Looks like you’ll have to get a hotel room, Phil. And, by the way, Connie has a wonderful boyfriend now, so don’t bother calling her. She also has an STD that is untreatable.
Hey! Connie HAD an ignorant boyfriend, Ted, who is always a womanizer and dumped Connie for another chick. :-/
UT OH! you’re about to have bloody claw marks and fingernails torn from their beds under all the windows where desperate Connie climbs up to incessantly stalk your flake of a brother!
Better watch out, Phil! Connie just had her heart broken by that scumbag chauvinistic pig, Ted, so as the ever-eternal, out-of-reach fantasy dream man that you’ve always been to her … you may find yourself being stalked by her once again!!!
P.S.: Aren’t you a little too old to be using the hippie slang expression “far out” in a conversation with your sister that’s not taking place in the 1970s?!
Thanks Ellisaana. I’m still here. I just have less time to be involved with comments these days, unless I just have to, like when Connie is acting the fool, or Elly is screaming nonstop for months on end, which strangely hasn’t happened in a long, long time. I wonder if these are all rewrites. Anyway. Good to see you too!

Pretty sure it isn’t Phil, must be John’s brother.

Well, this makes for a telegraphed (or would that be telephoned?) story arc for this week…

@Arye Uygur that was John’s sister, I believe, who has the farm where April goes to.

Phil never had a farm with horses that April worked on.

Yes, it was John’s sister Bev Cruikshank who owned the farm with her husband Dan.

If the University can’t pay you enough to afford your own place, stay where you are!!! We don’t have a hide a bed anymore.

Lynn didn’t retire, she started over, these are all new ‘toons. She wanted to live it all over again but differently.
