For SHTAA-TAA-HA!

OK, the FBOFW Sunday strip was not exactly laugh-out-loud hilarious, but it was kind of enjoyable. I like Liz's teaching strips much more than, say, Deanna and Mike passive-agressively fighting with the neighbors or Elly's hot flashes.

I am kind of freaked out by how much Liz is now drawn to look exactly like Elly, complete with bun.

Is "Shtaa-taa-haa" a word in their tribal language, or is it just supposed to be an expression of wonderment?

And I loved the Peanuts-leaf strip referenced in FOOBiverse. Aw, Peanuts. We miss you.

Hmm, when I first read Sunday's strip, I totally missed any reference to Peanuts. I know Shultz always seemed to like doing something with autumn leaves, but was Sunday's column purposefully suppose to be a nod to Peanuts?

Hey, I just Googled "Shtaa-taa-haa" and it actually comes up as an honest-to-goodness "laugh" word used on this Native American dating service's site! Whoda thunk it?
