No chicken legs? No pizza? While Elly is talking leftovers and fruit, I notice that Mike’s food choices are delivery food. In order for him to have that expectation, this sort of implies that the Pattersons have delivery food on a regular basis. The ready-made snack food in my refrigerator is usually things like yogurt or cheese sticks.
Elizabeth got off easy with the milk because she is young. However, as she gets older she will be less cutesy-pootsy. Wonder how the parents will deal with a teenage Elizabeth?
You can tell that this is a cartoon from long ago – these days speaking that way to the fridge could result in an automatic order being placed with Amazon for delivery the next day.

Well, Elly can be funny and sarcastic. Sometimes children, especially teenagers, need that.

Let us bow down and worship the great appliance that is giving its very life that we may live. Beware the Great Evil Power Outage!

The sarcasm is strong in that one. That’s worth a point in my book.

No one noticed that it’s a tad sacrilegious?

Is it just me, or are the readers of this strip really, REALLY judgmental?

Praying to idols? Hmmmm. That’s going to considerable lengths for the sake of making an illustration…..

Hey kid, if you don’t like what’s there, learn to cook for yourself.
