Jan Eliot's funny and irreverent Stone Soup follows the saga of an extended, blended family, starring two working-mom sisters living just across the fence from each other. Val and Joan share life with their opinionated mother, a middle-school diva and 10-year-old tomboy, a reclusive teenage boy, a wild preschooler and his new baby sister...and of course Wally, the ultimate nice guy who steps into his stepdad shoes with grace amid the chaos. Working-parent hassles, pre-school tantrums, middle-school angst, love and the single mom... it's all here in Stone Soup.

This picture looks too serene - where’s Max?
Wolfdreamer250 said, 3 months ago
Well it is night time and he is a toddler. My guess is max is asleep. Probably why the picture is so serene.

Enough “You gotta love August” jokes. Let’s move on.

I love the “August” strips but I can identify with BlackKnight15. I live “Down Under” and I’m sick of winter here. It’s no fun at all. I can’t wait for summer and the long vacation time.

BRAVO!! Points for Jan for good astronomy! Those ARE Perseid meteors, and I salute the wonderful person who took the time to draw Perseus recognizably.

oh, poppycock…….if you see the Perseus constellation in that random rendering of white spots on black background then you see the actual mythological figures represented in the stars

I think it was a nice series. And it’s only for a week, not all month.

Ahhhhh… all present and accounted for. Phil was the last one who was missing, and here he is. Wonderful!
I think I enjoy the summer all the more because of all these “you gotta love” strips. Normally I’m too busy complaining about the high heat and humidity to really appreciate the summer. This year, it has been raining almost every day, and very hard. So this is the first actual week of summer that we’ve had so far. I luvit!
@mamarose, no one is watching Phil’s hands except you. (and me, I must admit. Whatever the kids would learn from watching him and Val would be about loving each other, which I personally think is just fine. Look at the dreamy expression on his face!)
Yup, indeed, I just gotta love August!

Actually, mamarose, I was going to say the same thing, but….a day late and a dollar short once again.
Rina - That puts a dreamy look on MY face, also - lol
