Well, it's happened again. What started out as Elly complaining about not being given help she'd consider adequate has degenerated into another free-form rant about how she was the helpless victim of an unkind world forced to endure inhuman horrors. In other words, we're listening to a tirade delivered by a blame-evading jerk who doesn't realize that her bleating about made-up catastrophes and refusal to take responsibility for her actions make her sound selfish and stupid. Let's see what molehill she makes a mountain of now, shall we?

Panel 1: She doesn't do so today. It's a John and Mike mess-up. We see John in the shower stall silently cursing.

Panel 2: He leans out of the bathroom door and bellows "Who took the [expletive deleted] soap?"

[Note: It's entirely possible that there actually is lots of soap in the bathroom. The problem is that the obsessive-compulsive dipshit wouldn't use it because 'sink' soap cannot be used in the shower.]

Panel 3: This causes Mike, who was passing by, to freeze for a second.

Panel 4: He then tells a frustrated John that he, who avoids soap, is the last person to ask.

Hypothesis 1: Lynn is just selecting strips at random to "prove" that family life sucks but we have to endure it to demonstrate our worth as people. A bad person like Therese may cut and run and escape to sanity but a good person like Elly must burn away everything that made her worth knowing to enter into the charmed circle of people Lynn approves of.

Hypothesis 2: She's making us nostalgic for the Settlepocalypse.
