Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for December 18, 2014

Mayday, Mayday!

Officer going down!

Wonder what the Christmas present will be?

they’re right, you know Phil! Go for it!

Maybe a very happy Christmas is coming!!!

Looking good here. Please don’t let us down, Jan.

“He’s going down!” Hahahaha!!! What did you expect girls? That he was going to jump up, click his heels and say, “yee haw!”??

Assault on a police officer, arrest those two meddling daughters! No wonder their mother is still single.

It’s funny and all, but the girls are RIGHT!

I feel dizzy myself Phil…

The meddlers are going to ruin it all!

And it’s perfectly fine if she doesn’t want to get married. Lots of women don’t, contrary to popular opinion.

The girls are playing cupid to get the two married or hitched and Phil is going into shock.

Oh no!

Pfft. Cops are expected to be tough and manly. Phil gets swoony at the very idea of marriage? Scoff.

Ummmmm….. Phil…… pssttt…. over here. When you get your first opportunity….. Run like the wind! Run Phil… RUN!!!!

Love the last frame!!!!!!!!!!

If good communication is the cornerstone of a good relationship, Phil and Val are screwed. Maybe they should date others…

Notice in the first panel there’s the Jewelry store in the background with a graphic of a diamond ring on the window.

Going down for the count!

just a little mental re-calibrating

Darth, sweetie, this has been going on for weeks… and weeks… and weeks…there are readers who would like art least a little delayed gratification here.

Call 911!

It’s all that sensitivity training. It gets him when he least expects it ;)

I’ll keep my calendar clear for June. If I remember correctly, when Wally and Joan got married, there were two wedding dates listed – a weekday, and the following Sunday.
