Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for February 24, 2012

I’m new to this strip. Is it a continuing storyline thing?

OK, thanks.

I have a friend who plays “Words with Friends” online, Sometimes with 5 or more people at the same time. She is very good at it, unless she loses, then, not so much.

Good way to build vocabulary!

You two are very self-effacing.

I wouldn’t say that if I were you…..

WWF I LOVE IT!!!! Word games are whats up!

I’m going out on a limb and predicting that Phil cleans up . . .

As I said yesterday, I’m with Gokie5. He’s about to wax their butts. MUZJIKS QUARTZY JUKEBOX MEZQUIT QUIXOTRY SYZYGY

You surpriise me, Holly; I wouldn’t have expected you to be so good at Scrabble, given your indifference to school. I tend to forget that school performance isn’t necessarily an indication of intelligence.

@MeGoNow, I sure hope so. There’s a lot of comeuppance due here.

I agree with Gokie5 and MeGoNow and hope that Phil beats them. However, if he doesn’t I hope they don’t get too arrogant. I would not want to loose Phil – he is every girl’s dream come true.

@somebodyshort – Excellent idea!!!!

This will not end well for Phil.

Thirdguy, I currently have 20 games of Words With Friends going on right now. It’s fun and since everyone plays at different speeds (some play every day, others every other day or whatever), it’s not overwhelming. Fun way to learn new words!

For a while it builds vocabulary, bu then only scrabble words unless you got to names and foreign terms using wiki or google as arbiters.

What’s Phil going to do now with the way he’s being treated?

I love the broad games!

Is Holly really smart enough to play that well?
