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?

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.
The priorities of Lynn Johnston are pretty straight, even if Elly's aren't. The non-training of Farley the dog I believe is Lynn's answer to her own guilt in getting rid of the real-life Farley the dog because of her opinion that the dog couldn't be controlled around her son. As for cutting down a husband, that's been priority #1 on this strip for 30 years.
Now that the title mentions it, why wasn't there a "trains" pun there?

You just know she'll shriek (or "shreik") like a banshee when she reads this strip. ;)

I hadn't thought of that, but it makes sense. "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!"

Sad but true.

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. ;)
Wow, this is shaping up to be a really passive-aggressive "War of the Roses" here...unless they haven't graduated to killing each other by sabotage proxy yet.
Huh...my verification word is 'antny', only two letters away from the Patterson's favorite son-in-law, *shudders*

New levels in passive-aggressiveness, for sure.

Not only that, but in some parts, that's how his name is pronounced.
