An idiot who thinks that since twenty-eight and twenty-five are functionally identical, so are eight and five. It's why John growls about how a seven year old boy is a freeloader because he cannot do the work of a teenage boy.
Finally. Lynn doesn't seem to care overly much about sending the wrong signals by having the parents tolerating candy so that they can have the guilty pleasure of hooking on to their kids' stash. She cares about making herself laugh and not being oppressed by the confusing and, to her, obviously incomprehensible idea that other people might have different tastes.
This strip confuses me. It looks as though April blows a HUGE bubble in panel 5 and spits it out of frame in panel six. So how is she blowing a tiny, barely visible bubble after she has expelled her gum? I guess panel six is supposed to show her sucking the gum back in, but that's clear as mud.
Oh, you're right.... I see now, too, that they did the same with Liz's sound-effect balloons, and this occurs both in the 1995 and 2024 coloring. Weird choice to give those bubbles the same coloring as the gum.
Another opportunity to compare the colouring of 2024:

I had to look back at the strip when I read the comment that it was supposed to be about keeping the bubble, not the gum. Total fail.
And yes, April is too young to be chewing gum. Lynn is an idiot.

That huge bubble in panel 5 is probably a miscolored sound effect balloon.
