   Oh man, I totally get this. This happens to me all the time. I express something that I desire, in my complete self-interest, and hope that my wife will be accommodating, and I feel kind of guilty about it, and then not only does she not explicitly approve or disapprove, she finds some way to turn it into a shopping opportunity that she can get a kick out of. The next thing I know, “Oh look honey, I found a whole bunch of these [whatever I wanted] on sale!” Reading this strip is the best, I swear.

   There’s actually something specifically distinct about Lucy and Linus: they have half-circles around the the outsides of their eyes. They (and Rerun) are the only characters who have this “physical” trait. Take a look at Violet’s eyes, then at Lucy’s; you’ll notice.

   So is this a counter to those Stone Soup “You gotta love August” comics?

   I think the twins are 5’s sisters, 3 and 4.

    Wish this could be true in Southern California. It’s hot out here every October!
