Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for April 12, 2009

There I was. Chased down by a mob in the parking lot. Beaten to within an inch of my wallet, left for debt with nothing to show for it, but four boxes of Girl Scout cookies(munch, munch).

care for a Thin Mint, Joe?

Wait, all week we were waiting on the edge of our seats for Joan and Wally’s house to be foreclosed, the car repossessed, and forced to sell Max to a sweatshop, but now they have the money to buy the most expensive cookies on the planet?

Only three boxes of one flavor? The last time I bought Girl Scout cookies I had to go to the bank for a loan! I wonder why I’ve been gaining all this weight?

Didn’t see any cookies this year. Just got a request in the mail to buy magazines. Girl Scout magazines. Wonder what flavor they come in?

Pookid HAPPY EASTER!! Bin tryin’ ta get ahead of ye all mornin”!

watch out for the transfats!….Girl Scout cookies….loaded with chemicals for shelf life while clogging up your bloodflow with the same chemicals……. oh, but its all for a good cause!

I don’t take the cookies, I just give them a dollar or two instead. :)

Finally, a guy who speaks about GS cookies like I do … I love buying those things if only to freeze them for a special occasion … save them for YEARS, if need be … like aging a fine wine … mmmmmmMMMMM!!!

But my stock is running low … NEED MORE!!!

Come to think of it, Nate hasn’t been around with his niece at Overboard this year. Keep your eyes open Henry Crow! Be aware, be very aware! :-D

hate to rain on your pity parade nighthawks but gs cookies have no preservatives (they’re kosher, in fact) and they have less than 1 gram transfat per serving. and they’re nummers… i like the lemon ones.

Hi This isn’t going to be one of those delightful comebacks on your comics - Instead - today I feel old, divorced, a bit out-dated and maybe even futile. So - for a beloved character in your strip to point out that she, too, used to assume it was just a temporary problem - the way her face looked in the mirror in the morning - just something that a bit of sleep or better lighting would soon repair - that strip handed me a fine laugh this morning and pulled me back into the fray. Thanks!

Thin Mints for me too.

Awesome. :) From my perspective, Wally is definitely right on the proverbial money there: these girls definitely are learning about entrepreneurship, responsibility and loyalty. :)
