Stone Soup, named for the stone soup fable, is an internationally syndicated American comic strip written and illustrated by Jan Eliot. The comic strip, set in Eugene, Oregon, began as a weekly in 1990. The syndicated daily strip debuted in November 1995.The Stone family features a family headed by single mother Val, an uncommon contrast with the ordinary nuclear family depicted in more traditional strips. As the author explained,It is not uncommon for strip storylines to consist of household squabbles and arguments that are not resolved. Unlike many strips, the characters do age, but at a very slow rate. Val has celebrated her 38th and 39th birthdays in the strip; Alix and Holly were 9 and 12 when the strip began, and are now 10 and 13.

Popular Mechanics has an article on the slow down in solar activity and the difficulty researchers are having getting funding to understand the cooling effect better. Cooling effect? That doesn't play into the current Climate Change hysteria so - no soup for you.
