   I was just about to say that myself. Girls used to keep diaries. There was a rock ’n roll song about that. And also a famous Brady Bunch episode. So now they call them journals?

   This is the first time I’ve seen “journal” used as a verb. Maybe that’s the current slang of young people.

   This was 19 years ago, and I guess kids loved computers then, and they love computers now.

   This one reminded me of the strip for December 31, 2009. But because that one was for New Year’s Eve, it actually made more sense that they all fell asleep in the living room.

   At the time this appeared, I communicated this to the cartoonists (which was possible at that time), and they agreed that I was right. So I might as well put it here also. It was a 400% tip, not a 500% tip. The first two dollars was the price, not part of the tip. For instance, if you tipped 20 cents on that $2.00 purchase, it would be a 10% tip, not a 110% tip. She tipped $8.00 on a $2.00 purchase, so it was 400%. (Sixty years ago, I was the math freak at school.)

   Anyway, the “do-it-yourself” part does not make sense. If it’s all pre-made, it’s not do-it-yourself.

   In real life, I don’t think she would be frantically covering up when it’s her husband and her little girl. (Hammie is only in the first two panels.) She knows that there are no guests in the house. But yes, the reply about the “G-rated” comic strip makes sense.

   They are the MacPhersons, therefore Scottish. In fact, Hammie’s full first name is Hamish, a Scottish form of James.

    On a side issue regarding today’s strip, notice how Baby Blues seems to jump back and forth in time? Wren again has a bulge inside her pants, indicating a diaper. She is sometimes drawn like that, even though in past strips she was getting potty-trained.
