Mom: I'd like a scoop of chocomochaloco in a sugar cone, please. Alice: I want the blue flavor. Dill: I'll have the beige flavor in a cup. Mom: Here you go, Alice. Alice: Boy oh boy! Petey: Be careful eating that thing. Alice: I am. Petey: You have to rotate it constantly. Alice: Okay. Petey: Hot, humid air makes it highly unstable. Alice: Okay. Petey: The whole mass could shift suddenly. Alice: okay. Petey: And you don't want that to happen. Alice: UGHK- Petey: Ancient picts painted themselves blue to show fierceness in battle. Alice: Petey made me nervous about my ice cream! Mom: Alice, we'll have to hose you off in the driveway like last time.

Never imagined ice cream that grows. (Alice in the final panel looks like Blooregard Q. Kazoo of "Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends.)

Well, at least she won’t have to worry about the summer heat.

The lesson in Cone Safety is, Don’t Be Greedy: Single Scoop Only! If you go for two scoops, or even three, you are courting disaster on an Alice-like scale! Besides, never, ever, trust the blue flavor….

I had an ice cream cone for the first time in many years last Sunday. It’s definitely a skill. You should either eat lots of ice cream cones to perfect your technique (which may have other drawbacks), or just eat it in a dish. Eat it from a dish, I mean, although eating in a dish would be interesting.

“Ancient Picts painted themselves blue to show fierceness in battle.”.At least Mom is going to hose Alice off in the driveway, instead of making her stand in the middle of the woad..(….sorry about that….)
