Alice: I've never seen a pop-up comic book! Petey: It's my school project. Look at this - Alice: OW! Petey: Oops. I made it a little too pop-uppy. Would you like to shake hands with Rutherford B. Hayes? Turn the page...

Pop up book martial arts may be Petey’s ticket to riches some day.

I used to like pop-up books. Luckily I was never injured by one!

Actually, this is historically accurate. The White House used to have a regular event where anyone who wanted to could come there and shake hands with the President. How times have changed! It was probably abolished after 1901 when President William McKinley was killed by a left-wing radical who used a hankerchief to conceal the pistol he was carrying in his hand. (Although this didn’t happen in Washington but when McKinley was making an appearance at a “world’s fair” type event in Buffalo, New York.)

Help, please. What is the name of the parking lot dirty snow creature? I’ve searched back in many strips but can’t find it. Thanks, in advance to all you loyal posters.

Love Alice’s expression in the last panel: pain and surprise fighting it out with rage. I wonder which emotion will win…

What if you could put sound to a pop up book that page would say “HI-YAAA!”

Rutherford would have thanked former President Buchanan. He installed the 1st bath tub in White House. That would have cleaned that beard right up.

My daughter came home from school this week with an assignment to do a report on a past US president. So disappointed it wasn’t on Mr. Hayes’ beard. Still, there are pop-up book possibilities, given that her president – Grover Cleveland – stood up for the rights of the independent Republic of Hawaii, under the reign of Queen Liliuokalani.

Mister Fweem,
Are you from/in Hawaii?
MisterFweem almost 14 years ago
Nope. Idaho. Literally the polar opposite.
