Bernice doesn't need someone else to get in the way of her having a good time. She'll manage that herself. My bet is the next we hear about this is her telling Luann about how she started reading this book but never finished it because she had better things to do. And maybe Luann picks up the book, but we never find out if she reads it or not.

That does sound incredibly unsatisfying and that's what makes it so plausible.

Yeah, I think I might drop it. The premise seemed potentially interesting(especially as a historical piece, now that 42 years have passed since these strips' publications) but the political bent I'm seeing now that I'm actually reading it daily is...not great.

It could be worse. It could be Wright Angles, which I have the misfortune of seeing below Rex Morgan and once spent an entire week on 'women's lib is awful amirite fellas?' strips(and the artist apparently also did conservative editorial comics).

The characters on the scroll are too small to make out, but I can at least tell that they're different characters.

I got this one from a newspaper, but I wouldn't be surprised if, in the original art, those were all actual characters.

I'm catching on with the thread and I think this deserves to be explained out.

Century ago, the local government was very lean so outside of a few major cities there were very few social or health services. Family was supposed to take care of the seniles, cripples and orphans. When they couldn't, or didn't exist, instead of building orphanages or care homes a free market option was followed: they were auctioned to the custodian that requested the least for their upkeep. In return they were expected to work hard for their bread and physical abuse was common. It was pretty much slavery.
