Transcript:
Alice: Petey, what're those? Petey: They're "comic strips," examples of a mighty, yet dying art form. Alice: Read this one to me. Petey: Well, see the cat says- Alice: Is he happy? Petey: I don't know yet. Alice: I think he's sad. Petey: Okay. He says- Alice: He's sad because the last cat here is eating pie. Petey: No! He- Alice: yes he is! He hates the cat in the last box on the end! If he wasn't in a box too, he'd go to beat up that cat and take his pie! Petey: Alice! It's all the same cat! See? They're all him! Alice: Actually, I think he's a girl cat. Petey: Maybe it's just as well comic strips are a dying art form.

Alice! It’s not a pie! It’s called lasagna, and it’s one of the finest comfort foods ever invented. And that cat? “She” has a name…. (Petey, don’t give up! Where there’s life, there’s hope—even for comic strips.)

Comics should never be a dying art form!

But little sisters should be seen & not heard.

No wonder Petey’s neurotic!

This is hilarious. I hope comic strips are never a dying art form in my lifetime. As much as I love her, Alice would make me neurotic too!

I wonder how Richard is doing? I hope in spite of everything, he had a nice holiday surrounded by family and friends. Bless you Sir!

It makes me wonder what might happen if Alice talked to an actual cartoonist.

@sisyphos: isn’t it funny that real cats like fish and meat above all?

Yes, I enjoy reading comics on 2 sites daily, and animated ones on TV. They will NEVER go away, just keep changing in form (don’t we all?)

DAZZ thanks. I went to see, guess he is okay as his last post was today. I tried to sign in on account but they kept telling me my username and password was wrong! Oh well! I don’t Twitter, Facebook or Pinit so I am clueless I guess! LOL!
