Well, we can certainly guess why Elly is going to flunk out, can't we;)

Also, this is a nifty way to blend what you thought we were going to see with with we did.

Thanks--I figured there was good reason not to believe what she told John about her class.

Once again FOOBar makes sense of the regular strip! Ironically, having Elly just make up stuff that she thinks would (should) be in a Creative Writing class, is probably exactly what Lynn Johnston did in writing the strip in the first place.

This is what I was thinking. :)

Although it would have been easy for her to find out, through minimal research, what was likely to happen in a creative-writing course, we know how allergic she has become to any research whatsoever.

It's all just a faint buzzing noise for her. She merely waits for it to stop so she can go back to talking. ;)
