It’s always a pleasure to see someone who’s good at what they do, isn’t it?
Izzy’s a future Eleanor (with a conscience, though) in the making. Will she succeed? Will the gang (we need a name for this gang) get to go to Chuckleslovakia?
Ah well, we have a few more irons in the fire to settle first. And coming up next, some of your favorite folks will… you’ll see. Frankly, I have so many strips ready that I’m not sure which one I’ll run next. But I think you’ll like it.
“You’ll be wrapped around my finger…”
As for a group name, “Those Meddling Kids” has already been taken…
I thought about “The Knuckleheads,” but I might name them “The Schmoe Gang,” after the first comic I ever wrote and drew, back in grade school.
If you’re going that way, how about “The Meshuggenehs”? ^^
Hee! When she hears about this, Reade will blow gaskets she doesn’t even know she has. ^^
I must be getting even older. I can’t remember the part where Jacob was forming a harem. ><
Izzy has always had a crush on Jacob. Remember when she noticed his mustache? They became sort of a couple while away at camp. Iz isn’t happy about Jacob and Anya, of course, and this is a great way to get him all to herself.
Reade may indeed blow a few unexpected gaskets. I love your ready way with a turn of phrase, Delta-v!
Okay, I’m still a bit fuzzy on the timeline. Does Izzy know yet about Anya’s true status? If not, and by some miracle or Eleanoran skullduggery she goes to Chucklesovakia and finds out who and what she is competing with for Jakob’s affection….
I forsee….complications….
Anya’s true identity is a closely guarded secret-only the King and Queen (and possibly a few trusted advisors) know of it over there, and pretty much outside of Eleanor and a few State Department officials, only Ambassador Plrn and Mr. Skdnvltjaskadski know the full story.
And remember, Jacob is being sent away because the Royal Family disapproves of his relationship with Anya. And they want her single so that, in the event she’s revealed as a princess, she can marry some nice eligible royal and make heirs. So they would love to have Izzy there to steal Jacob’s heart away.
Izzy’s good, but she’s bush-league compared to Eleanor. Izzy’s hampered by having a conscience. Or so Eleanor would say.
