Today's strip is an almost pleasant look at John putting Lizzie to bed. What mars it is that Johnny Boy forgets that you can't just walk away from being a dad when you're tired.

(Strip Number 7155, Original Publication Date, 1 April 1984)

Panel 1: We find ourselves watching Lizzie and John playing catch-me-if-you-can. Since she's in her nightgown happily yelling that Daddy can't catch her, it's safe to say that it's pretty much bedtime.

Panel 2: When Daddy does catch Lizzie, she squeals in delight.

Panel 3: After John tucks her in and bids her good night, Lizzie asks him to kiss her dolly good night.

Panel 4: Next, Bestest Present Bunny want kiss.

Panel 5: Now, Mousie want kiss.

Panel 6: She's about to tell him that Teddy want kiss but doesn't get the chance.

Panel 7: That's because John tells Lizzie that he's had enough and is going now.

Panel 8: She tells Daddy to wait.

Panel 9: Reason: he forgot to kiss HER!!

Summary: A tenth panel would probably have a guilty looking John kissing Lizzie good night. Well, if I were writing it, it would. We have no idea what Lynn would write any more than what sort of insane nonsense she'd have for notes.
