Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for January 17, 2016

Where Arizona, Joan?

I just love the way it snows in this strip!

Luci’s thinking “what the…?”

Whump? Noisy snow in these parts.

Arizona has all the weather too.

Northern Arizona gets lots of snow,because it has high mountains!

Google 120º in the shade in August.

It snows in Arizona, too. My visit to the Grand Canyon in April ’10 included snow, from Flagstaff all the way in, except in the Little Colorado valley.

I’ll take the snow and change of seasons any day over 110-degree summers that last five months.

I saw something similar to this in an old Warner Bros. cartoon called “The Iceman Ducketh” with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. It was one of the last cartoons produced before Warners closed its Animation Department.

Have fun with that Joan.

My location no major snow. Just few flakes.

I like Luci’s eyes poking out of the snow in the last panel.

Dear Jan, I’m sorry but SUNDAYS are NOT enough! So please change your retirement schedule to (at least) Sundays, Tuesdays & Thursdays. Your readers will be very appreciative.

You might like to know that currently, it’s summer in South Africa. Gramma’s no dunce.

I’ve lived in Phoenix for 50 years. About 20 years ago it snowed about 2" one night. They cancelled school because the bus drivers didn’t know how to drive in snow!

In Arizona, you can also enjoy the four seasons. In fact, you can do it all in the same month! In January, you could go up north to Flagstaff for snow and cold, or stay in the Phoenix valley for warmth and sunshine, or go to southern Arizona in the elevated Tuscan mountains and be chilly but not freezing. It’s perfect! :)

your comic has become a parallel to representing the trying times i endure as a single mom of 2 daughters. and dating for the 1st time since my divorce 5 years ago to a wonderful man my girls give grief to. miss your everyday strips. but love the the endevor of this site< your blog and the one on one connection,
