Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for October 18, 2015
Transcript:
Stone Soup by Jan Eliot Alix: I'm BORED, Uncle Wally. Wally: BORED?! Wally: How can you be bored?! There's a whole WORLD to explore. Alix: I've done that. Wally: Did you hear they discovered a GIGANTIC crayfish? WAY bigger than the ones we found at the lake. Alix: REALLY?? Wally: Maybe YOU could catch one. Joan: WHERE did they find that crayfish? Wally: Tennessee. 4 years ago. Joan: You sent her on a wild goose chase. Wally: No, I gave her an afternoon of adventure! Val: If she catches another albino newt, it's living at YOUR house.

Too bad I don’t have an uncle as a neighbor. It would’ve been so cool to do things with him. I don’t even have next-door a nephew/niece; they’re approximately the next town over.

I just went back to yesterday and happy GC has consented to work with Jan Eliot will also be fun to comment on old comic strips. A lot of the strips I have not seen did not start SS in 2009. Going back to when started give us better insight just hope stay in same format.

Albino Crayfish are also geese? Who knew? And why is Alex not on a plane to Tennessee? Plus, she might want to hit up one of her fellow GC characters for a time machine…

For those expecting the old weekday strips to appear here, take a look at the “Stone Soup Classics” link at the right side of this window towards the top. That’s where they will be posted.
kab2rb over 7 years ago
Well so far no old strip. Wonder if GC not rerunning old strips.
Ginispics over 7 years ago

As @Strod said above, to see the rerun, you have to add Stone Soup Classics to your queue (click the avatar to the right of this strip, and then the under that strip).

Let’s see if I got this right: You are now publishing “classic” strips from the beginning and discontinuing current strips.

I just read that the creator of Stone Soup has retired and this is the end of Stone Soup. One of my favorite strips.

p51strega said, regarding Saturday’s strip,“Does anyone know if GoComics will be rerunning from the beginning? I would love to see how the whole thing started” — I think all you have to do (with any of the comics at this site) is click the red “<<” button above the latest installment and it will take you back to the debut (sure looked different!!)

johnsonbfj over 7 years ago
Where is Stone Soup? It wasn’t in yesterday’s Free Press comic section or today’s (October 20 & October 21) ? I’d really like to have it back in circulation.
bwp34266 over 7 years ago
I missed the memo, what’s going on with one of my favorite strips?
pupskweek over 7 years ago
Stone Soup was the only comic left in our paper worth reading. Well, it will save me time in the week, won’t it? Have a happy vacation, Jan, and all the girls and boys….
gravygraves over 7 years ago

Jim Duff Premium Member over 7 years ago
Hey, where is Stone Soup? If there was an announcement re retiring the strip I missed that memo. Some info please?

Sharon68 Premium Member over 7 years ago

Why have you dropped this neat comic for the silly unicorn?
harebell over 7 years ago
Jan, thanks for the years of enjoyment. Will miss you! Enjoy your retirement and will watch for your Sunday strip.
buick322 over 7 years ago
Our paper didn’t mention a word about it. Suddenly it was just gone, and there was “Speed Bump”. At first I was super angry, then settled right down when I found out that it was Jan’s idea.Enjoy your new freedom Jan. We’re all only here for a visit ya know!

Seems like it ended the way Calvin and Hobbes did. Going out on an adventure.
