In Security by Bea R. for February 23, 2021

Sedine and Charlene looking good. Ellie is a lush now, not surprising. Al trying to smack some sense into his mom. Maybe these two can fix her.

The alcohol cycle began. First despair, feeling good, bad when you wake up, so you drink again. Pretty soon you are drinking always. And how is this good for Al?

Well Ellie, we finally know who you really are, a toxic Karen.

Elsewhere, Hubbs is. ✨❤️✨

Even though it is mini golf, one player will be swinging a mashie.

Don’t repair yesterday’s strip.

Add an extra week in at a later time when the book comes out.

Ellie did let herself go pretty fast.

I wonder if El knows that there’s no booze in mini-golf.

Now is the time for Char. And Sedine to be there for her and help point her in the right direction.

You’re going to play Putt-Putt. You’re not going bowling.

Putt-putt for the fun of it. Putt-putt for the fun of it. Putt-putt for the fun of it.

In Elle’s case: Drinking for the putt of it. Drunk-in for the futt of it. Aaaaaaaa… I love you…can I have another one? Why izzit so hot in here?

El has become the new old (pre-Sedine) Sam. It may be too late.

Even Al is trying to knock some sense into her.

Oh, back to the depression arc… OK.

Also, isn’t that much alcohol a bad idea when you’re breast-feeding?

Oh, I can’t wait for Al’s first word to be “Da-da”, or something football-related.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Or,

When the mighty fall, they fall mightily.

I didn’t El could hit the bottle that hard… This is getting scary!

I’m actually at a lost of words to see in panel 3 the surprised look on Gabby’s face. The first thing that came to my mind was the story arc of the everyone trying to make Gabby smile again after seeing a photo of her smiling.
