Lay Lines by Carol Lay for January 25, 2021

You can’t always get what you want!

Major corporation buys her invention just to bury it, because envy is their main selling point.

Nobody envies her … that’s good, isn’t it?

Envy is fine for other people. Gives them more reason to watch my every move.

The old “mom, watch this” syndrome.

this one is a good example of why I started reading Carol’s stuff many years ago. A pearl.

Envy aka One of many reasons for credit card debts…

Is this new..? Something about the style seems fresher than the other Story Minute strips.

(Also I don’t remember ever seeing it before, but part of what makes this comic so delightful is that it still so frequently surprises me.)

Sometimes the worst thing you can do to yourself is get what you want.

I call it a win-win. I wouldn’t want people to envy me.

I am loving this strip…it has a good blend of everyman and personal intimacy I’ve been missing in strips.
