the strip for March 8 2008

You know, sometimes it's easier to create an idea that encompasses several ideas, rather than try to come up with one general gag. It just so happened with this strip. And that's the way it goes in Fayette, at times: there can be a lot going on, or absolutely nothing - but that is rare. However, with a strip like today's, it seems like I always have the chance to include more characters - and there's a large amount of them here. In the first panel, you know Ed and Myrtle Gosselbaum. But you probably didn't know that Elsie is Myrtle's sister - they do have some resemblances, don't they? The second panel involves the Tucker family: we see Adam, Tom and Baby William. I hope it's not confusing trying to read the one panel divided into three. (There are some people who have trouble with this kind of thing, but for now, they'll remain nameless...). Spatz and Sassy make up panel numba 3 - which took me back to the old days, when Spatz used to dress up as a cat, and thought he'd be adopted that way - because cats always have it easier. Well, that didn't work, because he's still without a family! And in the last panel, that's Elda Gosselbaum, Ed's mother! (See panel 1).
