    It’s going to drive them crazy until they figure it out. Yet another example of The Madness of King George.

    Alice has caught the Show Biz Bug: just look at her “waving” expression in panel 3, with a big, toothy smile!Got to hand it to Dill’s brothers; they are innovative mechanical geniuses. They probably sucked all the cleverness out of the household atmosphere, which would go towards excusing Dill for not being like them (along with his being younger)….

    They do seem good at building stuff but, judging by the appearance of their house, they’re not much at maintenance.

    Is that all they’ll need?

    If anyone can shoot King George III out of a cannon, it will be Dill’s brothers!

    Maybe Alice can play the part of King George the III, but Dill’s brother’s will only be able to shoot her out of the cannon once.

    They may be tempted to shoot Alice out of the cannon.

    If they can’t figure it out, they’ll just have to fall back on their Trebuchet expertise…

    Alice looks just like Maddie Ziegler in panel three!

    Of course, all this reminds me of something. When I was at FSU, our student group, which was composed of students from a certain church denomination, took part in a float contest for the FSU homecoming parade.

    An artistic guy and I were in the front yard of the student house, crafting a papier maché terrier which would wind up listening to “his master’s voice” per the RCA Victrola ad. (A record player on the finished float blasted out the FSU fight song.) Anyhow, my fellow float-maker tossed part of the chicken wire we were using, over to my side and a sharp wire found its way past my glasses and scratched my eyeball, right beside the iris. I went to the infirmary, and had to put ointment in the eye several times a day. No matter what I did, every so often the eye would start paining and tearing, then would feel ok for awhile. There was that, and our float didn’t even win a prize!

    Ah, memories.

    Why do I think Dill is going to end up playing the role of King George III, attached to a bungee cord so he keeps returning?
