Dot and Ditto have aged slightly as well. * [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20110913095410/http://www.artbaxter.com/images/blog/2008-postings/topless_backs/lois-9.28.71.gif This] strip from September 28, 1971. * [[Honest ~~Johns~~John's Dealership]]: Lois is usually a decent, honest woman. But in her profession as a real estate saleswoman, she stretches the truth as much as anyone else in the business. * [[Hot Mom]]: Lois. Surely breasts that round and pert are unusual on ''most'' suburban housewives. * [[Imaginary Friend]]: Subverted with Trixie, who has long, reflected conversations with The Sunbeam. Not ''a'' Sunbeam. ''The'' Sunbeam. Line 17 ⟶ 15: * [[Meaningful Name]]: Hi and Lois ("high and low"); oldest son Chip ("chip off the old block"); younger children Dot and Ditto (twins - "ditto" means "copy of"); Trixie ("full of tricks") * [[Name and Name]] * [[Spin -Off]]: The Flagstons first appeared in ''[[Beetle Bailey]]''. Lois is Beetle's sister. * [[Theme Twin Naming]]: Don't twins have enough identity issues without being named "Ditto"?
