One moment, the foobs were in a teal-and-lavender monstrosity of a wedding, and the next they were propelled back into the past. But it was a different version of the past. What happened?

Leave it to that moron Elly not to pay attention to something really important. Also, leave to her to blame the people who were trying to warn her for her own witless inattention. (Why do I assume that I'll be typing "Leave it to Elly to not understand why people are upset with her despite being told why" fairly soon?)
I am little surprised you didn't managed to work in the phrase "picky face". April's change of facial expressions from panel-to-panel is very interesting and very Lynnesque. I could easily imagine 1981's Lynn drawing April that way. I only hope that having imitated Lynn's drawing for so long now, you haven't done damage to your own skills, and cause you to develop a distate for erasers or drawing perspective.

It's other people's responsibility to make things easy for Elly. ;)

An excellent guess.

Ah, but I thought that was Liz-patented. ;)

I felt a bit schizoid drawing young Elly and teenage April together, as I was using the 1981 strips and the 2008 strips as references.

Heh. I might need to re-educate myself once I've finished. Though I actually did quite a bit of erasing--it's kind of an odd thing putting that effort into mimicking someone who doesn't erase. :)
"Oh, I had no idea! I assumed everyone had simply been wiped from existence! My youngest child, my children's children... I thought I was making a new timeline where they had never been born at all, washing away their lives and accomplishments like ink in a shower! And now you tell me you've all had to be alive all this time! How awful! I had no idea!!"
When Hannah Arendt spoke of "the banality of evil" she was describing Elly to a T.

Corollary: the foobishness of evil!
Joe_England, April_Patterson,
There's another thing that one must take into consideration: the evil of banality. Remember, all this madness and heartache was touched off because an unremarkable moron who wasn't satisfied with what she had in life decided to overthrow the world in order to get more than she was due.
Paying no heed to common sense or easily-obtained further information, then getting huffy and blaming other people for her own mistakes? The only way this could be more quintessentially Elly is if she were chowing down on something huge and greasy.

True that--Bumbling into Disaster could be a subtitle here. :)

Hee--I almost had them drinking coffee but decided that April was in no mood for that. ;)
