Joan and Wally are on their honeymoon, all too soon to return to the slightly askew but loving (and frequently at war) extended family that is Stone Soup. I think my favorite characters here are the under-utilized grandmother Evie, and 9-year-old Alix, both of whom seem to have a grasp on the important things in life - number 1 being to enjoy the ride. This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite family strips. It's got heart, humor, and a quirky charm, and it often blends a funny strip with a subtle lesson. Artwork has come along nicely too, especially the expressions. (
