Stephanie is a machine with a romantic soul. She’d be right at home in a girl’s adventure novel from the 1920s.
Happy weekend! Monday it’s back to Eleanor’s place, as everyone gets ready for the memorial service. And deals with…stuff. You’ll see.
GROOVY, KINDA
Love is Funny Like That
Man could you write anything sweeter?
AND no saccharine is sight.
Charlie you have great insight into people and relationships.
Thanks once again.
Stuff like this is why I adore Anya 80% of the time and Stephanie 100%. I love this!
Solve mysteries with their talking funny chicken side-kick! “Bawk, Bok, Sleffanie…”
they’re just cuter than a june bug!
One is a clown-obsessed librarian with a mysterious past…
The other is an android from another dimension with a hunger for new experiences…
They fight Crime!
Seriously though, this is an adorable bit of character-building. I like the portrait of Eleanor on the wall. Is it cross-stitched?
I was going to say that the portrait looks that way because of the pixelation from the resolution, but, yes, I can see Anya sitting up nights after her breakup with Eleanor, obsessively cross-stitching pictures of her and muttering to herself…
I’m glad you like this one. I tried to keep it from becoming “cutesy,” while still keeping the cute alive.
Daggnabit Charlie; you used the dreaded “C” word…………………Cute.
No no, that was “cutesy.” Cute is today’s strip. Cutesy is here.
Me: “Haven’t you ever heard anyone use the word ‘cutesy’ before?”
Eight year-old stepson: “Yeah, but it wasn’t a guy.” (ouch!)
Bawk, Sleffanie.

Will Dr. Einstein be attending?
You laugh, but that was the role I had in the first play I was ever in.
“No! Not the Melbourne method, please! Two hours!”
” . . . and he was just as dead as . . . “
Your comments about Poulsbo and Ivar Moe piqued my interest. I now know more about hamburger buns and the world’s longest hot dog than I ever needed to know. Golly, I wish I could’a seen that!

Orphan sisters who live on a boat and solve mysteries? That would have been a good concept for one of those girls’ adventure series. Could it actually have been one? Hmm, it doesn’t match Judy Bolton, or Beverly Gray, or Nancy Drew, or even Sue Barton or Cherry Ames… but I suppose it could be one that I simply haven’t encountered.
The only person I can think of at all who lived on a boat and solved mysteries was Travis McGee, but that’s definitely not the same kind of series… 8-D
Definitely not Travis McGee. I have to confess, I tried the first McGee novel, and really didn’t like it.
But two orphaned sisters living on a boat and solving mysteries? I’m sure there must’ve been some children’s book series like that. Since there were so many series from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Well, if there wasn’t, this is your chance, reader…
So I time-traveled back to this strip via a hotlink in Charlie’s commentary on a strip in December 2018….
These two living on a houseboat? Sounds like “The Middle Mist” to me, only with a better wardrobe.
“The Middle Mist?” I’m not familiar with that. Is it a book series? Yes, I could look it up, but I’d rather hear it from you, Pops.
