Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for October 29, 2012

And yes, Val can very well say NO. Olympians earn their leotards!

But in Australia & New Zealand, Halloween’s in the spring!

The long sleeves are at the wrong end!

Language, please! I have a little sister who reads this strip with me and that means she reads the comments, too.

Nice try, Holly.

As a girl growing up in Colorado in the 50s (-20 F in the winter sometimes) we were not ALLOWED to wear pants to school. Tights came out my junior year in highschool and they were a godsend while standing out in 3’ of snow waiting for the school bus. Until then, bare legs! Small children pulled snow pants on under their dresses, but a teenager would die first LOL.

i hear ya doctor11. ignorant people use filthy language to compensate for the lack of brain power they have. there’s never an excuse to use it.

Brrr…

I had no clue what it meant and was just about to ask. Need to tread carefully these days.

I want to see costumes that are designed for cold weather! It’s no fun for the kids to trick-or-treat in coats, hats, and mittens. I make all costume decisions based on the fact that my kids will be wearing warm clothing underneath.

She’s talkng about your legs Holly!

Just be happy about the neckline!

Yup…dead in the middle of summer.40`C…over 100deg F. My family tends to celebrate Christmas in the pool :)

With nighttime temperatures in the 30s here, I don’t think she wants to be running around dressed like that.

“be an Olympian who skis”“So you won’t freeze”“This has long sleeves!”

Heh, they were talking in rhymes!
