"He wasn't trainable! If he'd been trainable, I would have trained him and not given him away! I'm NOT an irresponsible pet owner! Buy my plushie and my children's book!"<br /><br /><i>As for cutting down a husband, that's been priority #1 on this strip for 30 years.</i><br /><br />Sad but true.<br /><br /><i>Now that the title mentions it, why wasn't there a "trains" pun there?</i><br /><br />The real reason is that I didn't actually think of it until I was uploading the strip. My made-up, in-strip rationale is that John hadn't yet started his train obsession, so HE didn't think of it. ;)April Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364188321350027405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115958760816352341.post-23165633376327501852010-04-02T09:26:13.704-04:002010-04-02T09:26:13.704-04:00Once again, he's dead on about "Nelly&quo...<i>Once again, he's dead on about "Nelly"'s flawed priorities; he's also inviting another screaming match wherein she defends her right to be an irrational, lazy idiot.</i><br /><br />You just know she'll shriek (or "shreik") like a banshee when she reads this strip. ;)April Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364188321350027405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115958760816352341.post-3333710929669448062010-04-02T09:21:15.334-04:002010-04-02T09:21:15.334-04:00The priorities of Lynn Johnston are pretty straigh...The priorities of Lynn Johnston are pretty straight, even if Elly's aren't.
