Panel 1: We find ourselves watching Elly politely decline when Connie offers her some finger sandwiches. While I ruin things by wondering who she's trying to kid, I do acknowledge her at least trying to obey the forms.
Panel 2: We see the same thing happen when Ruth offers her something to eat.
Panel 3: We next see Elly looking to see if anyone is paying any attention.
Panel 4: Since no one is, we see her engaged in rather panicky gorging.
Summary: This puts me in mind of the most disturbing strip about dieting Lynn ever came up with:
for a rather obvious reason.
