These are the newest Q and Eh additions:

I know Jesse was a student of Liz's but where from? University? Elementary school? Where?

I was looking at the strips on the website about Mike and Dee's reunion. When Mike goes to visit Dee in the hospital, she offers her address as a way to keep in touch. Later, when Liz and Warren first meet (in the book Reality Check), he asks for a way to get in touch with her. She says, "I don't know my address yet." In the next strip, when Liz is telling Candace about the cute guy she met on the bus, she asks, "Did he ask for your address?" I'm the same age as Liz, and I have never heard of people asking each other for their addresses. I think people would ask for phone numbers, or emails, but giving out your address to a stranger (no matter how cute or nice) is dangerous, and doesn't make any sense. Is this a Canadian thing? Where does this come from?

How do you come up with the language used between April and her friends? It is spot on for people their age. Do you have a teenager on hand to help you decide where to put the word "totally"?

In today's (March 22) strip, I'm confused by Elizabeth's statement, "I'm glad I had a spare today." What does that mean? Is spare an adjective or a noun? If it's a free day unencumbered by other obligations, why does she make a point of saying she's shopping on her lunch hour?

I have noticed that Francie's speech patterns and cognition do not match the age she is supposed to be (born March 7, 2005; just turned three in March 2008). Some readers have assumed that Lynn has silently modified her age upwards (as soap operas do). I hope that is not true, as it goes against the established realism of the strip. Could you please settle this matter definitively?
