(Strip Number 1312, Original Publication Date, 12 July 1988)
Panel 1: Since Lynn doesn't seem to have actually seen her new refrigerator get installed and thus probably doesn't know what a dolly is, we start off with a group of silhouettes straining to get the fridge into the house.
Panel 2: We next see a sweating John thanking Greg and Connie for helping them while not-at-all sweaty director of traffic Elly helps them rehydrate. Greg says "Any time" in response.
Panel 3: They part amicably enough.
Panel 4: As the two of them clutch their sore backs, Greg tells Connie to do him a favor and ask what the Pattersons actually want the next time they ask if the two of them are busy.
Summary: Elly and John remind me of a parting one-liner at the end of an episode of Law & Order wherein some corrupt idiot told the DA that he could use a friend and the DA shot back that this was the man's problem. Also, this sort of whack-a-doo crap does seem to nicely confirm
howtheduck's suspicion that Lynn spent the reno holed up in her fantasy capsule.
