Sometimes birth control fails even if you use it exactly as directed. My mom was pretty fanatical when it came to medicine. If a drug had to be taken every 4 hours, then it was taken every 4 hours, plus or minus 5 minutes. Birth control pills are supposed to be taken at the same time every day, which she did. We still wound up with my youngest brother.
Besides, why would somebody put their keys in the refrigerator and milk in the cupboard? I did that once because I was tired, in a hurry, and my mind was elsewhere! Fortunately, my brain suddenly jerked to attention and I realized what I had done. Soon Luann will, too.
This is a rerun strip. Eventually Andy shapes up to be a pretty good kid. I started reading this strip about a year before the cartoonist semi-retired, so for me this part is brand new. The one that only runs on Sundays is completely new, so you can get a glimpse into the future!
The diver survived. He wasn’t swallowed, he was too big for that. Fortunately the whale spit him out pretty quickly near the surface of the water. He wasn’t injured at all. If you go to the site that Z51 posted, you can learn more. It’s really interesting!
I think that when the deal was made between Tiffany and the boys she really didn’t understand what she was really doing. Tiff had no real concept of money and what things cost, which seems to be especially common among children of the wealthy. I do think Les, more than Gunther, took advantage of that. However, Gunther isn’t completely innocent here. I seem to recall that Betts is the one who negotiated the price and Gunther simply went along with it.
I live in a condo, so I have no way to line dry. Oh how I miss the smell of line dried sheets!!
