Wow…senior moment discovery! This is probably the third time I’ve seen this particular strip, and it just occured to me that “Neelie” is “Eileen” spelled backwards. Woo-hoo! Wonder what other of life’s mysteries are in line to be solved now? Woo-hoo!!
Hmm, I don’t usually notice it in this strip, but isn’t Jason being unusually disrespectful here to ask his mother, “Are you insane?” I think most parents and definitely most teachers would punish a young person for that. I had the most permissive mother imaginable, and even she would have at the least given me a strong verbal reprimand if I had spoken to her that way at Jason’s age. I guess maybe Andi knows her son and doesn’t take it as intentional disrespect, but rather his own dramatic way of expressing himself.

Yes, Jason. Mother means you quit the silly game of over-reacting.
