Mike ruins Elly's life by teaching Lizzie to make faces at people Mommy wants to impress.
(Strip Number 1623, Original Publication Date, 12 July 1989)
Panel 1: We find ourselves watching Mike entertain Lizzie by faking faces at her. His first gambit is to seemingly try to blow out his sinuses like Howie Mandel did.
Panel 2: Next comes the classic Bronx cheer.
Panel 3: Finally, sticking his fingers in his mouth to make a Joker-like grin.
Panel 4: Later on, we find Elly looking like she expects to be executed for failure when Lizzie blows a raspberry at a Kindly Old Lady.
Summary: Once again, Lynn fails the "what does a child know" test and assumes that what people who live in basements and hate her refer to as Lizzie's honest ignorance is really part of a scheme to ruin her.
