   Very cute!

   And a heartwarming fantasy–no parent in their right mind would leave a small child unattended outside a grocery store.

   What are heartwarming fantasy - you actually believe that doesn’t happen constantly?

   And they actually think that by putting money in the machine that they’ll actually go to Mars. Priceless.

   Why not, Jo Jo? Think how much more fun each will have if they’re not together, with the child shouting “I want” & the parent shouting “NO”.

   It takes a lot of quarters to make it all the way to Mars.

    Who doesn’t like soccer balls??? And who doesn’t remember that awkward moment of seeing their teacher outside the classroom environment for the first time. What ya mean they have lives!!!!

    Dill’s observations not only always make me smile… but today I believe I can actually hear his voice in a film voice over narrative the way Thompson lays out the panels as part of a storyboard…

    I wish I could find a rocket to mars… I have change in my pocket…

    Young children are always amazed to see their teachers away from the school, doing normal things such as buying groceries. It is hard for them to comprehend that teachers do not spend their life in the classroom. Dill is no different than other preschoolers.

    When I was in 6th grade (1964!), the wonderful Mrs. Jones would occasionally invite students to join her for lunch on a weekend, her treat. Awkward and wonderful at the same time. Needless to say, Mrs. Jones was my all-time favorite teacher.

    Yes, teachers aren’t people, they’re TEACHERS! All small children know that. (Also, there are no criminals or predators allowed in the small town in which the Otterloops live - it’s perfectly safe for the kids to wander around by themselves)

    Wow, Dill not only got to see stickers – but they are vintage “hippy flower stickers” too…. why would he think Mars would be better than that?!!

    Hippie flower stickers? Must be Timmy Fretwork’s car!

    It’s a VW Bug. Hippie flower stickers were standard equipment in the 70’s. Which means this is either set in the 70’s or Miss Bliss hasn’t been able to buy a new car in over 30 years.

    This is just about the only thing in my life, comic strip or anything else, that makes me laugh out loud, and long.
