    Liz, I hate to tell you but you’re a minor and your family is going on a month-long trip, you gotta go with them. Mike, on the other hand, is an adult with a job. Suck it up and try to make the best of it

    Mike has that dreamy look in the final panel that says he is going to enjoy have his girlfriend over without having to worry about his sister bugging him.

    Oh, he won’t be alone! The family will find that out when Rhetta’s pregnancy test returns. ;-)

    Yeah… you might even meet an interesting male adolescent with common interests…

    No way would I allow that butthead to stay alone in my house for three weeks.

    To me, Elizabeth does look like she has an attitude. That’s my opinion, the way I see it, it is the long and the ‘snort’ of it!

    As a college kid that’s home for the summer, and has a job, he’s a built in house/pet sitter.

    Methinks this will be her last family vacation.

    When I was 13, the folks moved to Buffalo.

    Took me a month, but I found them.

    (Spoilers). Unfortunately, Elly and John will never trust you in the house alone. Not even after school for an hour, future April has some stories for you.

    Michael comes across as very withdrawn and not wanting to be a part of the family.

    Well Elizabeth, you have just had another lesson in “Nobody promised you that Life is Fair.”

    I bet Michael is going to grow the beard back while Elly’s gone.

    Is Liz really arguing that she should be chaperoning her older brother?

    Enjoy your grandparents while you have them, Elizabeth. You’ll wish for this time back when they’re gone.

    In the last panel, Michael could easily look like he was (heaven forbid) stoned. (I’m just kidding, folks…)

    Would that my parents had done that with my brothers 50+ years ago, when they wouldn’t leave them home alone to play tennis (I suspect neither of them could drive), so we didn’t get to go to the Grand Canyon. Yes, I remembered for the next 20 years, when I took my first Stateside trip with a friend—to the Grand Canyon.

    That’s how I felt when the roommate went out of town for a few days. I usually got some serious housework done at those times.

    Elizabeth you should have gotten a summer job so you would now have an excuse to stay home.

    Common sense doesn’t work in comic strips or with teenagers.

    That would be funny if John said that Megafood called and Michael is not needed; thus he can come on the trip with them.

    Watch Michael’s spaced out look turn into a glower.

    Mike wants to have, um, sleep-overs.
