Petey is right, particularly where Alice is concerned.

I always hate these moments when the wiper got something stuck like a leaf. It makes the glass make an unpleasant sound.

This time, Richard’s blog entry covered the last 7 strips.As it says, the next 6 will be a repeat. Spoiler alert: if you haven’t been with the rerun from the start, the following CdS links may point to strips you haven’t seen.The repeats originally started here. Oddly, in the rerun, they started on Thursday (instead of Monday) and were in b&w instead of color.During the week of the original run repeats, The Elderberries had a CdS crossover (Richard pointed to it in a CdS comment, in the first repeat). Maybe just filling in while Richard took a week off.

‘Tis a mighty fine line, indeed. “Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole” is an old bit of advice, but perhaps apropos, Alice. Dad went “wipey wipey” with you for quite a while and enjoyed it. You’ve just got to know when enough is enough and stop!(Have I worked in enough clichés yet?)

@snarkmI see I have missed that part from Petey. There are actually many comics I have been reading from the beginning, but there are so many I need to catch up with I need quite a large amount of time.
