I posted an Elsworth strip previously, and was hoping to find a bit more information on the strip to share along with this one, but it seems there really isn't any. Despite running for 12 years in many high profile papers, no one on the internet seems to care much about it (either that or my search engine skills aren't as good as I think they are).

This particular one is odd, because it appears that a panel is missing. The dialogue at the beginning seems to start in the middle of a conversation. Either there was a panel or two cut in order to save space, or the first and the second panels were mixed up somehow, or something. Also, the top and the bottom row of panels seem like they're from two separate strips, because there's no connection between them. Very odd.
