First of all, if you celebrate some kind of holiday or event—religious or not—over these several days, I hope your experience is positive and meaningful. If you do not celebrate, I hope you find enjoyment and satisfaction in doing something you may not have had time to do. I realize that each day is more or less what we choose to make of it (within our abilities). But holidays are, by definition, special days. So do something special for yourself or for somebody else.

It’s a fine line we walk when dealing with a family member who seems to be doing something that might damage that person. And the situation can get messy. Changing your argument, as Olive seems to be doing, doesn’t help. What was it she said just yesterday? “Then negotiate some clauses…” Today, Olive tells Peach the contract sucks. Huh!? Was yesterday’s event just a moment ago, or did significant time pass as Olive and Cherry poured over the contract Peach shoved in their faces yesterday?  It’s important to know, if we are to make sense of Olive’s contradictory declarations.

In any event, I was hoping that least we’d get a real knock-down sister fight, like the first time they all got back together. (And do you remember when and where that took place?)

However, Rusty suddenly dropped in with a message from Mark, changing the vibe. What could Mark’s exciting news be? Maybe something like “Hi, all. Big adventure! WYWH! Trying 2 avoid drowning in flash flood. GTG. XOXO!”

Art Dept. There is some awkward framing today. It took three panels to introduce Rusty, his message, and the change of mood. I think a two-panel spread would have suited the purpose better. The second panel would be composed similar to panel 1, but Rusty would only come in the door at that point. The sisters would appear silent and surprised as Rusty delivers his message. Surprise is meant to be short and quick.
