If I wanted to stop hearing that infernal song, I would’ve taken out the batteries.

Crayons require a very small battery.

This time, a little over 10 years ago, Richard posted a blog entry regarding this strip:

How to put your child off brushing their teeth in one easy lesson….

Beni, you’re so right.

I’m having trouble enjoying this site. :o( They’ve changed the format of the page.

♫ Brusha, brusha, brusha! Here’s the new Ipana. With the brand new flavor. It’sdandy for your teeth! ♫

This was an early step on the path of toothbrushes being included in the ‘internet of things’ (go ahead – search for ‘internet connected toothbrush). An unsolicited recommendation – for brushing teeth with regular toothbrushes, I am a fan of Doctor Plotka’s brushes.

Baby Shark now has competition

I think I now know where the toothbrushes in “Endtown” come from.

Only if they’re made by Apple.

Beats “…and we never let the water run, no – we never let the water run!”

So Young, So Cynical.

My toothbrush plays ‘Stairway to Heaven.’

OMG next it’ll be singing vibrators…

One more item on Dill’s fear list.

♪♫"You’ll wonder where the yellow went…"♫♪

A toothbrush like that wouldn’t have lasted long with me. Something would have happened to it very quickly!

I don’t want a Singing Toothbrush (a Singing Sword like Prince Valiant’s might be acceptable). If I had one, I’d probably take it outside and bury it “alive”….

Alice would be a good “natural” for the movies: her face is very readable.

My electric toothbrush gives a vibration every 30 seconds— 30 seconds for upper right, then another for upper left, then lower right and left for a total of the recommended two minutes. I rarely make it. I need music!
