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.

Didn’t end as badly as it could have.

Jan Eliot either doesn’t have kids or is/was very bad at raising them.

She is. Remember that is a comic strip. Unlike the other comic strips I read (Gasoline Alley, For Better Or For Worse), the kids (and the adults) in this one will never grow old.

I agree.

Don’t be an idiot Val, babysitting isn’t a one way street. You are taking care of your sister’s kids for two week while she goes off to Paris. Do you seriously think Joan wouldn’t watch yours if you asked?

Evie would help as well, but my experience with girls the age of Holly and Alex is that they really don’t like their mother getting involved seriously with another man even if he is a good guy. They say they don’t mind and they try not to but in the end they aren’t mature enough to imagine a parent in a physical relationship with a new partner. When they are older and finished school they are able to deal with the reality a little better.

Jersey Shore is located right in the middle of PA. The nearest “shore” is at least 200 miles away.

That’s the second time Phil has said love, but I don’t recall her saying it.

Other than the “idiot” part, that was my thought too!

Why do you read shis stryp?

In the last frame, is Phil asking how many years until Holly and Alix are both gone and will just be Val and ‘Biscuit’ in the house? Or is he asking how many years has he loved Val in a vain hope she will return the love?

@Flyer Tom Phil said THE Jersey Shore, NOT Jersey Shore. I live in PA and know the difference.

@BartJ385
Why would you say that? She has raised two daughters that are lightly modelled off Holly and Alix.
Either way, that is just a mean statement based off a CARTOON DRAWING!
