Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for August 25, 2019

What, Wally? And then what?

This is a beautifully drawn and coloured Sunday strip. I think this picture is one of your very best, Jan Elliot.

Go to “Hubris” by Greg Cravens for the rest of the story!

Too damned hot and miserable.

Soon, kids will think “ghost stories” are about when someone suddenly stopped responding to their texts.

Wally is telling them about the last guy he was trying to sell insurance to and what it would cost him – for the rest of his life. Oh no, the horror!

Beautiful artwork, Jan!

I can remember my best friend from my youth was really good at telling scary stories when we were camping out in our yard. :o)

Rap. Rap. Rap. It was – - -(w)rapping paper!

Where’s Lucy????

and will next week be “You Gotta Love September”?

“When the log rolls over, we’ll all be dead!!”

Thankfully this miserable month is almost over with so they can stop beating this dead horse. Bury the thing already!

There’s nothing to “love” about August.

If I were added to the scene the smoke would be blowing right at me!

Wally must be a great scary and great scenery.

It’s like sixteen: hold onto August as long as you can.

Psht. Fake cartoon: the smoke is rising up without getting into anybody’s eyes! That’s just not feasible!

…August came to an end.

The Hook!

Beautiful artwork.
