Alice, there is too much pleasure in reading to forego it…

Oh come on Alice. If you keep up this commitment, you’ll never discover the joy of comics. Of course I think Pete is taking it to extremes.

The 6th panel is my favorite panel in this strip! Not sure what my favorite “little bit” is though – maybe some of that grass in the last panel – the texture looks pretty cool!

Anyone else notice Alice’s doll’s head falling off?

I noticed. Hope it’s not from one of Petey’s dioramas…

Petey likes the ghost child barely visible in the “best bit in the whole book”. Maybe it reminds him of Viola?
Meta Rhetorical Question: I don’t know what the point of newspapers are if I have to come online to find the beautiful subtleties of the comics…

For being completely illiterate, Alice actually tends to exercise a rather extensive vocabulary…

That “best bit” doesn’t require literacy, but it must take a lot of imagination to appreciate.
