Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for September 20, 2012

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Joan …

I’ve already been to London earlier this year. If I were to go to Europe a second time, I’d choose København.

What’s in Cleveland that has Wally dreaming of it?

The browns

I have 2 big trips to Europe planned in my head: London/Ireland/Scotland and Italy.

Quicken Loans arena is nice this time of year. :)

I dream about Poughkeepsie! I have no idea why.

I live in Cleveland…I’m not a sports fan, thankfully, and I’ve never been to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but Cleveland Metroparks, Zoo, and Rainforest are pretty awesome. Oh, and I do hate the Pittsburg Steelers, since I’ve heard that’s a requirement. I also finally figured out which team names go with which sport. You don’t want to know how long I wondered why our basketball team was named the “calves”.

Cleveland Rocks

Dream big Wally, Dream big.

Wait… does anyone else notice that Joan’s mouth is closed so it looks like the little boy is saying that? ;-)

“I don’t understand the ‘snaggle tooth’ in frame 1.”This has been discussed in comments on earlier strips. Jan Eliot often draws open mouths this way, when someone’s speaking. If I were a colorist I might color the “tooth” pink to show the inside of a mouth. If you enlarge the strip, you can see that Wally’s tongue is shown as pink in Panels 1 and 3.

My dream vacation is the U.K. But I especially want to visit Barton-under-Needwood,England to meet my pen-pal.

Cleveland Rocks? What league are they in?

The “snaggle tooth” is more like a small open mouth. Andinthe last panel it looks like she’s talking out the side of her mouth, almost sotto voce.

And second prize is two weeks!
