(Strip Number 6174, Original Publication Date, 23 April 1989)
Panel 1: We start off by watching Elizabeth, who's making herself a sandwich, reacting to the slamming of a door.
Panel 2: Said door was slammed by Michael who's storming downstairs with a scowl on his face because he's in a bad mood for some reason. (Said reason is that his alleged friend Lawrence lied and said that Martha got bored with him.)
Panel 3: He rudely shoves her aside and tells her to move because he's in a hurry to eat his sugar cereal.
Panel 4: She makes another sandwich with mustard and Lynn's idea of what processed cheese slices should be called.
Panel 5: As she tries to tell him that she made him a sandwich, Mike angrily grabs it out of her hand.
Panel 6: She then tells him that it's a ham and cheese sandwich. As she does so, Elly's silhouette appears in the background.
Panel 7: Elly and Liz frown when Mike slams the kitchen door.
Panel 8: Elly praises Elizabeth and says that it was sweet of her to make Mike lunch given how rude he was to her.
Panel 9: She then sets up the gag by expecting that Mike will be thinking of Liz all day. Liz agrees.
Panel 10: This is because she left the wrapper on the cheese.
Summary: There's a lot of Elly in Elizabeth, ain't there? It's no coffee mug to the head but at some point, Mike will learn to fear her wrath.
