In Security by Bea R. for October 17, 2020

Oh Ellie, say it ain’t so. What happened to that man hungry minx you were when you hunted him down on the gridiron. I’m going to have to rethink my whole life now.

How does she know what the baby thinks ? Projecting much.

That’s what happen when the relationship is for lust and not for love.

Edith is going to slap her face.

Somebody needs to bring her back to reality and this is the least expected person I could think of.

When the baby switches to solid foods, she’s going to sit there at the dinner table removing certain letters from the alphabet soup so that there’s no possibility of ever spooning up a dirty word.

Okay El, HOW does the Football lamp remind a newborn of Frankenstein when he doesn’t even know WHO Frankenstein is? Hubbs better lay down the Law man.

NEXT:

How quickly Ellie forgets that it was a pink laced football brought them together…….

That baby doesn’t look very frightened…

Panel#4: Unless you’re bleeding to death Ellie?

Did you not notice Hubbs’ square head, how does he not remind Al of Frankenstein? I guess at least this means Ellie will have to try hard not to give Hubbs any face stitches! XD

Well technically Hubbs gave it to “Al”:

On a separate note there’s no way any son of Hubbs could be afraid of footballs, or turkeys:

The boy may end up teething on drumsticks, anyway don’t you just love a trip down memory lane?

Whose Christmas to whom was it for? At least she’s letting you keep it in the basement rather then throw the thing out.

Who are you and what have you done with Ellie?

She is going to be a helicopter parent to the extreme isn’t she?

“Hush now baby, baby don’t you cry

Mama’s going to make all your nightmares come true

Mama’s going to put all of her fears into you

Mama’s going to keep you right under her wing

She won’t let you fly, but she might let you sing

Maa’s going to keep baby cozy and warm

Ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh baby

Of course Mama’s going to help build the wall."

Ellie throwing shade on the love light? Cold and cruel. This goes beyond a healthy dose of Mama Bear. Ellie has lost all perspective. Shall Charlene intervene?

If the football lamp gets put away, then Duke won’t be far behind. And if Duke goes, how long will it be before the Hubbs goes?

Maybe it reminds Ellie of some stitches SHE had to get?

Is the strip heading for its first divorce?

Hokay… now we’re getting to the far side of crazy … again

I’m unsure if I like where this is going… but, Hubbs, the way the NFL is self-destructing right now. maybe you’re better off.

“AND NO ONE LIKES TO SEE DOCTORS!!”

(disagrees)

Ellie honey, dont do this. You and hubs have an wonderful thing together. Dont destroy it!

Their doctor was FRANKENSTEIN!? (Also I like my doctor because they’re nice) :)

Let me know when this Ellie returns to be being nice again!

Now she thinks she has him. But making him feel miserable about his situation certainly isn’t going to keep him. He’s going to be thinking about wanting to be somewhere other than here. All this because of 3 hours play time with the boys.

Unfortunately I see trouble brewing for this marriage. Very dark turn for this strip.

Lil’ Al wants the bug. Something tells me the curious kid is going to want Duke over a Teddy-bear.

Hubbs needs to turn the tables somehow … ✨❤️✨

She needs to reel in the cray-cray mom act.

Ellie is discarding the football lamp Christmas present just like she is discarding Hubbs’ heart:(

Actually, guess the child is a ‘Him’ after all …

Wait… Are you saying that Al does not like football…

*SAY IT AIN’T SO, ELLIE!!! SAY IT AIN’T SO…!

Who is that woman…? And what has she done to our Ellie?

Ellie said it, she said it! She said it frightens “HIM”!!! It’s a BOY!!!

First time parents cause most of their own problems.

So Ellie wants Hubbs to put the “love light” in the basement. While the cast of In Security can be all over the place behavior-wise, this side of Ellie is too far out of character to ring true. What if…Ellie has a surprise for Hubbs? Why does she want him to go to the basement? What if she is not a Mama Bear gone rogue, but a sneaky, loving wife with a surprise for her hubby Hubbs? Come on Monday!

“But the football frightens the baby. It reminds him of Frankenstein.” Him. I guess that settles that.

So it starts. Been there.
