Stone Soup is an interesting strip about a family consisting of two sisters who are mothers of two daughters and a son respectively, and their mother. Hijinks include one of the sisters dating the balding next door neighbor.

You know what I love most about this comic strip? There's something for everyone. Yes the story starts off with a single mom living with her two daughters, her mom, her sister and her son so it is a lot of females in the beginning...but males appear along the way. And they don't push she the original cast out of the way, instead they compliment it, adding even more depth to the family than there was in the beginning. The stories are down to earth, without being overly sentimental or sappy (like some other comics that I won't name) and you can easily relate to the characters and recognize your own events in your life. It's a genuinely funny strip that I look forward to reading each day.

Reread this great collection. I love all of her strips and will sorely miss the retiring daily strip.

Funny, witty, quick read.
