Petey: Gah. Toddler: Baba oopa! Petey: Nice baby! Ouch! Toddler: Spoo! Spoo! Petey: Nice baby! Go on home now! Ouch! Help! Voice: Inez! Time to eat! Toddler: Bub bubbub! Petey: Help! Ouch. Before me looms a creature I dread above all others, except bees - the unattended toddler pushing its own stroller! Much as I hate drawing action sequences, here I feel I must.

Now the question remains who’s little brother is Inez? I assume it’s Beni, due to “ahem” coloring. But I could be wrong.

Like a zombie, the Unattended Toddler is relentless in its pursuit of its prey, until perhaps deflected by its mommy’s call to it to come and eat. Thus has Petey been spared further suffering at the grasping little hands of Inez. Who is of her family?

That’s my goal in life, too. As Petey knows, life is toxic. Just find yourself a safe vantage point, and look and laugh. Like Elvis Costello says , “I used to be disgusted and now I try to be amused.”

They’re not as common… but the toddler with the push-bubble popper is very dangerous.

Alice has a push-bubble popper.

The “bubble popper” looks like a stroller (or maybe doll stroller) to me. The handles are too high for a toddler to push comfortably. Its pink color denotes that at least the colorist regards Inez as a girl (as the name also suggests).

Better a “little hellion” than the uh oh baby.
