Agreed. Their daily dramas and traumas are riviting and keep bringing me back for more.

This is my new favourite comic. I just can’t get enough of Petey and Alice! (We even called my 4-month-old Petey for about three weeks when he was born because the look on his face when he was hungry was exactly like Petey’s when he wants to chew his arm off. He’s stopped making that face now, so we’ve gone back to calling him by his given name!)

The looks of pure joy on Alice and Dill’s faces … are delightful. Best strip I’ve read … full of joy and small sublime moments … rarely meanspirited and/or sarcastic (which I also do like if delivered correctly).

How does Alice pronounce that??

I know what Dill’s taking about, I always did like the new kiddie car smell too.

@DonVanni “Universal quantifier” is also acceptable.
