Transcript:
Alice: So I'm still scared of the stupid tube slide. Petey: Yay, Alice! Alice: Petey, what're all these boxes under your bed? Petey: Old shoebox dioramas I've done for school. Alice: There are so many of them! Petey: Someday I hope to complete an entire History of Mankind in shoebox form!

I can see it now: The Peter Otterloop, Jr., Diorama Museum of World History! A massive modernist structure completely dominating the small town of Cul de Sac (probably designed by Frank Gehry)!

Up here in WI, maybe spiders, but more likely moths and larder beetles. In FL, roaches, roaches, and roaches.

Love that second panel! Alice is a hoot!

I can interpret the first panel several ways: (1) Petey isn’t listening, (2) Petey’s sarcastic, (3) Petey wishes ill on Alice, or (4) Petey thinks fear is good for survival. I’ll go with 4.
