Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for July 30, 2024

Whoa, Mom …….. kinda dark even for you. Not to mention downright mean.

Wait, who is this woman and what did she do with these women’s mother?

Thank goodness Jan mellowed Ma out. That line is already old.

Lovin’ every minute of it ! Just lovin’ it. LMAO

Burnin’ her bra, no doubt.

Yowch!

What kind of mother makes fun of her widowed daughter? Weird.

And why did he die so young? Because he wanted to!

I see a pattern: the mom here, the mom in Boomerangs, the mom in Barkeater Lake…. I think they’re all played by the same woman.

What a nasty thoughtless thing to say to your own daughter.

WOW the early Mom was quite the mean b*!@h…

She sounds like my step-mom who still keeps in touch with my abusive ex, because she (and I quote), “Still doesn’t understand why I divorced him.” giant eye roll

Umm… mom had a steady stream of men as well…

That’s funny!

That does seem a little unfair…

Wow, did Evie mellow over the years!!!! I don’t remember seeing this side of her from the early strips.

Eewww!

Val, get rid of both of these deadbeats.

Yikes! I’m glad some of these characters matured and mellowed out over the years. They’re a lot less likable at this point.

Why do some women insist on trying to marry off their friends? Very annoying.

What a horrible mother
