Happy birthday Richard. My rule for costumes, never wear a costume that doesn’t allow you to sit down. And, never wear a costume that doesn’t allow you to drink.

Very nice effect in the middle panel.
Happy Birthday, RT! Of all the Richard Thompsons in the world, you’re my second favorite (but gaining fast!).

If they make a super-economy size bigger than the one Alice is holding, she may be able to literally dress up as a box of Blammos. But I predict the rain will not be kind to those marshmallows.

I briefly considered that this might be what she was thinking about – what with the discussion of the perfectly marketed cereal box a few days ago. Hope her mom has fun making this!
