We put our kids out in their ski pants if they were playing in the snow or any other activity where they were likely to be sitting in the snow. However, in my youth, my parents just let me sit in the snow and it would freeze up and become kind of like a little ice layer on the pants. They would be sopping wet the moment I stepped into the heat though and they had be taken right off. With ski pants, the kids were basically dry underneath.
However, I seriously doubt Elizabeth plans to be sitting in the snow with that skirt on.
What I find interesting is that this is Vi's last appearance in the strip. We have no idea why she's there in the first place and we get no reconnecting with her later on. What we do know is what's really important:
1) Injecting comedy relief battle-ax landlady Agnes Dingle into the strip.
2) Mike wailing because Rhetta uses the cruel words "I'm a person too" (which he uses as an excuse to be a shit to her).
3) More bullshit about how Candace is evil and wrong because she wants Liz to grow the Hell up and stop being a possessive fraidy-cat.
4) Elly finally changing unflattering hairdos that add twenty years (which is how long her menopause lasts).
5) Another vacation from the kids.
6) BS about timeshares
7) BS about Liz being a bully to April
8) MIKE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A WOMAN WHOSE BRAINS ARE IN A DITCH OFF OF THE 401 (and who will never hurt him by expecting to be treated like a person).
9) Mike hearing the baffling and impossible words "other people are real too."
Vi made it longer than Miss Carlos who disappeared after Tuesday October 8, 2024. Lynn seems to want to focus on the April and Becky dynamic from this point on, so any school comics are just with them and no teachers. When they get to kindergarten next year, teachers are shown, but they are not named and Duncan is finally given a name. Also, Lynn makes it really clear why Duncan was created and why we will never get any backstory or information about Duncan as a character. He is there for one reason and one reason only.
The April and Becky dynamic is, despite all the convoluted gibberish about family politics, quite simple to explain: April is fed a steady stream of bullshit about how awful and scary Becky is because of one thing:
At least when Gerald appeared, he did not automatically start pretending to be April's boyfriend. Lynn apparently learned from her other drop-in romances (Anthony and Tracey), that people tended to care more about a character if they got to know them first.
