Feed me!

Really? On the Dinner table? That thing is a guaranteed, no question appetite killer!

And, Petey, what about the bugs?

As a former farmer, I can tell you those are the bane of agriculture!

separate food groups-and isn’t that thistle?

Audrey? Alice II?

I dunno about you guys, but I wouldn’t leave that thing alone in the dark.

I am in awe of Madeline’s botanical expertise as expressed in panel 2. But it is also true that Petey raises a point worth considering (panel 3). Yet Alice is certain of its provenance, whatever it is….

Did the plant come from outer space? Feed me.
