She depicted a health nut as Joe Beergut. She depicted a community activist as a troglodyte. How do you suppose a vindictive ass is going to depict someone who gets along with the kids better?
You are right about that. It does seem like if Rod was getting along great with his kids, this is the kind of comic strip Lynn would do to dispel that. It's sort of like the ones she does that makes John/Rod seem like an incompetent dentist.
These people are so prickly and intense; every minor annoyance is an occasion to become a freaking volcano. Between this strip and the window-washing snafu, it's a wonder that the Pattersons did not get their dream of kids being too terrified to move or say anything come true.
this is one reason Elly pisses me off. Her reaction to Michael helping Mrs. Baird isn't "that was a nice thing you did". It's "why are you helping her and not ME!?" Michael's probably tired!
How come the kids are apparently more familiar with cabbage patch dolls than they are with the concept of adopted kids?
(P.S. if any kid ever asked me why I didn't have kids I'd probably tell them that was a rude question. Not that that would stop them.)

It also explains not doing things of their own free will. Mike, Liz and April like helping people who can be pleased.

So true. Mrs. Baird is the classic case. Mike likes doing things for her.

Stupid strip speaks for itself.
