Panel 1: That is a humungous bed, and April takes up a great deal of space in it. Although I would have preferred more discussion about the band (not about Becky's alleged arrogance, but where the band will go from here) I must admit I'd been dreading that today's strip would be all about the pets. So at least this is not more Short Attention Span Theater.

Panel 2: "You're gonna love it." Sigh. Never say that to a 14 y/o.

Panel 3: Well, no, not necessarily. Mike didn't want to leave Martha, and their relationship almost derailed when she didn't answer his letters. Liz had a pretty good time, but on her return, she found that her friends had moved on without her. No, I'm not saying that there's nothing to be gained from a summer on The Farm, but at 14 (and I think Mike and Liz were a year older when they had their summers) things matter in a way they didn't when you were younger.

Panel 4: Awww. Sweet young love. In the color version, the thought cloud is pink.

I dunno; I can't say my heart really breaks for her. Personally, I just don't like Gerald; I think April can do better. Maybe she'll meet a guy when she's out there. We never saw Mike or Liz interact with anyone their age except family, but that doesn't mean there can't be some good-looking teen guy whose dad owns the feed store or something. The summer I was sent to Camp Grandma, I met a guy, and he, and the summer, were awesome. So perhaps I should retract what I said earlier, because it might turn out that April won't miss out on everything by going away.

    The one where Chris Griffin should show up and yell at Gordon for breaking the fourth wall.

    The one where Lynn still has no idea that Gord should be talking about his fancy new lube rack.
