Since the Patterson children act like they only have one television set in order to torment her better, Elly's need to lay on the couch now that she has the flu affords her the ability to whine about cruel children who would rather watch television than let their poor mother rest and be happy.
Panel 1: We find ourselves watching Elly huddled under blankets on the couch watching her stories. When John asks if she's okay, she says that she thinks she has the flu.
Panel 2: When Liz asks Elly "Shouldn't you be in bed, Mommy?", Elly thinks that's sweet.
Panel 3: Mike says that if she's sick, she probably should be in bed. Elly states that she's fine where she is.
Panel 4: When Liz reminds her that she's taking up the whole couch, Elly is gobsmacked because she forgot what strip she's in. Said strip is one in which the presence of a rec room with a perfectly functional television is forgotten so that WE MOMS can be nailed to our crosses.
Summary: I, on the other hand, have not. I know that the whole entire premise is to allow other mothers who hate their children to run around howling "POOR ELLY!!! NEVER ALLOWED ANY HAPPINESS OR COMFORT!!!!!!" while also defaming evil MEN who enact a cruel and unfair law against hurling children off of a viaduct to laugh at they go splat on the asphalt.
