Edgar looks startled and so does the trash can and the computer monitor. They could all go into therapy together and talk about life with Mike Patterson.
There are two things that drive me batshit crazy about this whole damn strip.
John and Elly apparently never bothered to teach Michael it is not OK to hit girls. Isn't that part of the job of having sons?
Elly is in complete denial about the fact that Michael and Liz hate eachother to the point that she genuinely thinks if she keeps telling them they don't feel the way they do, they will suddenly have the emotions she demands that they have. Despite the fact that she always fought with her brother, both as a kid and now. YOU CAN'T TELL PEOPLE HOW TO FEEL. HUMAN EMOTIONS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY.
Telling him not to pound the stuffing out of her requires two imbecilic boomers to take what happens to their children seriously. That ain't them! They ain't down with that. What they do is assign feelings to people in the hope that they agree that they don't know what they really feel.
Are there strips where Michael hit Martha or Rhetta? Is that why Deanna's such a damn doormat? I wouldn't put it a bit past Michael. I was in an abusive relationship myself and I see the signs.
