Since it sounds like she doesn’t even want to go to begin with, I can’t imagine why Val would need a new dress that she’ll more than likely never wear again just to attend a “hotel bash” with a mediocre band, tacky decorations, bad hors d’oeuvres and watery drinks. She’d be better off saving the money by picking something out of her closet that she already owns and wearing it on their New Year’s Eve date instead. Unless it’s extremely out-of-date, no one’s going to know the difference anyhow.
For my day the last day, we do not go to hotel room to say goodbye to the year and ending my birthday. Stay home. We are at the age not much for us to do on my day, that if it is not bad weather.
Stone Soup Classics hasn’t been updated since October 31st. Hope they aren’t going to take it down like they did 9 Chickweed Classics. It seems whenever the “Classics” stop updating they take it down for good.
What is going on with GC? First they cancel 9 Chickweed Lane Classics (which were nowhere close to catching up with the current version) and now Stone Soup Classics is stuck on October 31. I wish GC had enough respect for their readers to at least explain what is going on!
Well, there’s enough info to say they’re not going to update to the new year. What I wish they wouldn’t do is recommend something in the “You Might Also Like” link, and then the link takes you to a page that says “That feature could not be found.” Especially when it was something you liked, and there’s no archive.

I don’t think “hotel” bashes are about the food, entertainment, or decorations.

I think Phil needs another date! Also, he might reconsider the whole relationship…

Judging by the way she misspells “oeuvres”, Val may be more flustered than she looks!

There are plenty of reruns they could show instead of this one. I could go back and read some from the past.

Maybe they’re going to resume updates in January to get the strip synchronized with actual time.
