Stone Soup by Jan Eliot Holly: What are you doing? Alix: Wading. Alix: I love the feel of sand in my toes, the sound of the surf, the cry of the seagulls... Holly: You're standing in our backyard wading pool. Alix: For someone who says she wants to be an ACTRESS when she grows up, you sure don't have much imagination! Holly: AHOY! A pirate ship on the horizon! Alix: Behold a FRIGATE that just sailed around the horn! Val: They're not fighting, so I won't ask. Joan: Do they get enough sleep??
A little off message here, but:1. The good news: The Tampa Bay Times (formerly St. Petersburg Times – hey, newspapers have to survive, don’t they?) just started running “Stone Soup”! Yay.
2. The bad news: They’ve squunched it into a 1 3/4" X 5 7/16" space! Boo.
They have plenty of room for a long-running comic that has one speech balloon, one panel, and isn’t that great a comic, IMHO.
