Alice: Wheres the trebuchet your brothers built? Dill: It has an accident. they took it out in a field. Dill: They loaded it up and yanked the cord. Dill: And with a mighty twang the whole thing fell apart. Alice: No! What did they load it with? Dill: A bag of marshmallows. Alice: What a senseless waste of good food!

I had marshmallows today, but they were in a Watergate salad.

I’m sure the marshmallows were salvaged from the wreckage.

Bupf! Is this the only time we’ve actually seen one of Dill’s brothers (I assume the long-haired hippy freak in panel 2 is one of the trebuchetting brothers)? Bupf!

In the last panel, Dill’s ?ball looks a lot like a seriously expired Halloween pumpkin that I threw on the ground once. Only it didn’t go “bupf” – only a very quiet “splat.”

Quite a thrill to finally see one of Dill’s brothers. {Excuse split infinitive.]

I presume his brothers built a bonfire from the remains and roasted the marshmallows…
