I guess we are continuing the theme of Elly thinking mean things about other people. First she hates on Martha for not wearing enough clothing and flirting with Michael. Now she’s slamming Fiona because she is still angry over her past slights. It’s good thing John has a positive attitude to balance Elly out.
John, why are you borrowing trouble by going to visit someone who took advantage of you, pretended she would help out with a new baby and only upset the whole family (including the dog)? Let well enough alone and just go home…
This strip was set in 1991, so Fiona fits right in. At that time, cocaine cowboys were giving a new meaning to the “Great White North”. Every Canadian with a spare Bob Borden in his billfold was dabbling in drugs.
Fiona has all the obvious signs of a heroin addict. She is helped by John, who is a codependent enabler.

Five good ideas what Fiona did with that $700:
1.) H
2.) Mexican Mud
3.) Skag
4.) Smack
5.) White Horse

I never wanted an diamond ring, so my husband gave me a chunk of coal and called it my “diamond”. It sits proudly on a shelf.

Lignite, if we are going to get specific… Sub-bituminous at best.

I’ll bet she’s looking for someone to help clean the place up and guess who just walked in? …suckers. Yup.

Where did they leave the baby on this excursion? I only see two kids in the back seat and April is not one of them.

A ‘diamond’ that’s already cost you a good chunk of money and goodwill.

John is naive. People Fiona’s age don’t improve. They only deepen the habits they already have. She will get worse as she ages, not better.

What she, like every other person, needs is consequences. Consequences are the stern but most effective teachers of last resort
