Transcript:
Alice: Ha ha! Alice: Ha ha ha ha! Alice: Daddy! Look at my hair! Alice: It's crazy! Look, Daddy! Dad: Yow Alice: You'd think Daddy'd warn me when he's wearing exploding socks. Petey: He's a dangerous man, I keep telling you.
My favorite part is how delighted she is to see her hair standing up bigger the second go-round. I pick up static extremely easily, I can sometimes “comb” my hair just by waving my hand above my head, not touching it at all.

At least she didn’t zap her brother; his drink conducts electricity.

Oh no! Exploding socks. TSA might start requiring sock removal.

The nerve of that man. Why, that’s blatant child abuse.
Randy B Premium Member almost 11 years ago
Daddy didn’t know about the socks until just now.

Well hopefully it at least got rid of some toe hair.

The most electrifying comic strip ever! Gotta love Alice (and gotta teach her about static electricity).

I’m surprised Petey isn’t hanging from the ceiling in sheer terror after that explosion!

Our seven-year-old “Alice” wants to say something: ellisaana! Staticking socks! Not exploding socks!

It’s one of those that make me laugh every time I re-read it. I can’t even think “exploding socks” without smiling.

Exploding socks are caused by only one thing: toe gas. :-)
