Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for May 18, 2012

yes! i always knew that they had self-awareness!

but u do need a makeover rena… :)

Mayday! The Fourth Wall has just collapsed! Mayday!

Well, I say you look just fine, Rena!

Well, ever since she started talking about wanting a date, I’ve been thinking “Lose the off-putting haircut, Rena.”But I guess she knows she’d have to ask Jan for permission.

Brilliant! Really made me laugh.

A slip of the tongue? :) :)

Have her keep the scarf but add more color to her wardrobe. Please, DO NOT have her color her hair!

..what about a zig zag stripe across the middle..

Way to break the wall!

I like how Jan throws in those author jokes.

Uh oh, they’re onto us! They’re becoming aware!

I love that! You are not all that minor, we know who you are girlie!

LOL!! arsmall is right – we know you, Rena! It’s okay if you get a change, as long as you’re still Val’s work buddy. :-)

She could lose the granny glasses, that might help.

“Black is slimming.”

Yeah, right.

Sing along! " Hey there, Georgy girl……"

i’ve often thought she needed a new hairstyle

We can see them, can they see us?

4th wall alert

Fourth wall breakage in that third panel! Notify the authorities!

LOL!!! Love it, really really LOVE IT.

… and the fourth wall comes down. Crawl out of the frame and move on.

Does Val look like she has a bucktooth in that first panel?

I am SO disillusioned!!!!

Heh. We see what you did there.

Score one for flagfly who yesterday said Rena should upgrade her wardrobe and change her look to contact lenses. A makeover is being considered now.

Anyone notice that Val doesn’t seem to have a clue? Maybe it’s only certain characters.

I guess they now know this is a comic strip. Also Rena needs to work on wearing makeup even on the lips. I’ve seen Val apply lipstick on contact twice in this strip.

DRAT! Alright, Ms .Eliot, where do I send you the bill for ANOTHER keyboard. And I just got the computer back from the repair shop; first sip of tea and then I read this…

I have never liked wearing mostly black or white. Even when I wore business suits, I had red, blue, pink, olive, navy – as many different colors as I could find in nice looking ones. I also do not like purple, yellow or bright green (not becomming to my skin tones) You can see I chose red white and blue for my heraldry in this photo).

There are minor characters in my life who always wear the same clothes too. I think that’s how the universe works.

The Woman In Black.

….she’s not real?

Broke the fourth wall again!

Danger! Danger! Fourth wall has been breached! XD

I need to use the line in the third panel!! XD
