The singer Jenny Lind, “the Swedish Nightingale”, in the 1800’s, was brought to America by none other than P.T.Barnum. He put her name and likeness on sewing kits, candies, tobacco, packets of handkerchieves, dress patterns, etc. She couldn’t stand the hype surrounding her appearances and eventually fled back to Sweden. But you can still occasionally find “Jenny Lind” baby furniture in stores.
Too itchy?! Petey fantasizes being a local TV anchor reporting the strange developments at the Otterlooop Household! Just ask Alice! Don’t, whatever, ask Mom!
Meanwhile, Princess Fairyqueen, Inc., feels the mighty wrath of Alice!

The melatonin gummy I took to help me sleep is kicking in, and it made this specific comic very difficult to comprehend.

Hey, hey, lookit Petey; he’s got the makings of a cultural humorist.

You can tell the age of this comic – DVD’s and CDs. Now it would include a streaming channel, podcast and Net Flix show.

Princess Fairyqueen was cool before she became just another corporate sellout.

We need more 4-year-olds to jump-start the economy.

The Cul de Sac news, as read by Petey Otterloop. I’d subscribe to that!
Looks like he is flirting with the fourth wall here.
The only product appropriate for Alice’s likeness would be adult prescribed Valium.

Today’s strip has that-fly-on-the-wall mood. I wonder if something similar once happened in the Thompson home.
