it’s like Alice is in a (cardboard) coffin; just need the shoebox’s lid and some packaging tape

“Civilized life destroyed” is that Petey’s Paradise; and what about the uncivilized life that’s still around Master Petey? And how about you, Alice? Are you just an uh.., uh…, take-it-backer giver?

In a post-apocalyptic world, it would be “Roaches” not “Rats”, Alice, cause you know, the rats would have already jumped planet!

Alice just wanted to be a part of the diorama, if it would have been about “civilized life”! Couldn’t you possibly include her in your idea, Petey? She could pose as a zombified survivor!

Petey is creating a “Die-o-Rama”.

Petey senior gets it, Alice has the instincts of a cat……

Something like a moonscape with a black monolith on it. Call it “2001, Remembered.”

Ah – so the writer was being prescient about 2022?

Alice? Civilized Life? (ͼ_ͽ)

Alice is not civilised, and she’s fairly apocalyptic… So, allow her to stay.

Alice is the perfect example of the modern civilized human, we’ll nickname her “Karen”! No wild, uncivilized, human being would deem themselves to be so totally self-entitled.

I’m with dad on this one.

Peter doesn’t fully grasp the profundity of Petey’s vision. I don’t think Alice does, either.

In fact, does anyone?

Given situation, 20220318 DET MI, Mr. Otterloop wins most poignant statement of the day.
