Alice: Ooh. Alice: Hey, Petey- Alice: That one was red and blue and white and it went boom. Petey: I told you. I've got cotton balls in my ears and I can't hear a word you say.
Richard posted 2 blog entries for today: first, one for a strip that predates (when they only appeared in a Washington Post Sunday insert magazine) the strips shown here, and then, one for today’s strip, pointing to a strip, that, by coincidence, appears to have been skipped (not what the blog entry is about) in the rerun.P.S. For those who saw this earlier, I’ve corrected the then link.

Oh, Petey! I didn’t know you were a commie.

Okay, I understand the cotton balls, but what about the glasses. Does he wears his sunglasses at night?

I think the eye patches are to shade the flash from the fireworks.

I hated the noise. Would have made me cry, except for the light! The colors and flashes and sparks were worth enduring the noise.

I felt the same way when I was really little… but thank goodness I grew out of that phase :) Watching a well done fireworks display is amazing!

Poor Petey! What happened between that first strip and now?

Petey is definitely NOT a risk taker

I like a man who is well prepared for any contingency….Alice is just a reckless risk-taker.
