Alice: The dolly is mine, and her accessories too. Mine mine mine mine mine. Alice: Bowl of cereal, it;s marshmallows now eaten. May I be excused? Alice: Get up, go to work, what does daddy do all day? Hamster in a wheel. Alice: Have you not been told, eat pudding at the table? Look at the sofa! Petey: Spare and unrhymed verse subtle, dense and allusive. Alice: Give me Mother Goose.

5-7-5, 2 through 6. Petey should have explained it to Alice better so she’d appreciate it more.

I agree, brilliant haiku work Mr. Thompson! But Alice’s arms in panel 3 are completely out of proportion, hehe.

Man, I wish this strip was still running new material. When the old stuff just blows away the competition, I just wonder what new stuff would be dished up today . . . .
Best wishes to you, Mr. Thompson.

I broke the record at sitting at the table, because I would not eat boiled onions…snot in a bowl.

Did you notice the last panel is a haiku too? I just now got that, missed it before.

I’ve never cared for brats…in real life, or in the comics.
