Poor Dill

What happened? Alice happened. Chaos is her fate.

Dill should call his lawyer!

Cue up Jan and Dean!

Doesn’t look much like a Jaguar…

It’s that FINE chinese workmanship.

Leave it to Alice to break poor Dill’s toy. Alice has to get her way and when she does she is pure chaos with others things. Dill make sure Alice’s parents buy you a new one and never let her bully you again.

spoiler – what happens in maybe the next or two more strips is that alice draws dill with his arms in the last panel.

Like a Bat out of Heck… Cue Meat Loaf!

Get Benni with his hammer. He will fix it in a jiffy

The little princess isn’t even sorry she broke Dill’s little kiddie car.

Alice with a driver’s license is scary.

Well, clearly you weren’t on an off road vehicle, Alice.

There’s a British saying – Dill’s “got his knickers in a twist”.

“WHAT HAPPENED?” ლლ(☉o☉)ლლ

“You provided me with a defective Kiddie Car. I think I’ll sue.”

“WHAT HAPPENED?” ლლ(☉o☉)ლლ

“I’m going to go dance on my Manhole Cover. Come watch me!”

“WHAT HAPPENED?” ლლ(☉o☉)ლლ

He told you it pulled to the right!

Love Dill’s arms in the 1st and last panels

Get rid of those sidewalks and we can put more trucks on the road!

Citation for driving too fast for conditions. Always remember to slow down and lean into curve.

Unmarked curve in sidewalk! No speed reduction sign.

Call Beni to bring his hammer!

There was a stretch of road near where I once lived called the seven hills of death. Which just encouraged teen drivers to go down it really fast. Some didn’t live to tell about it.

“It’s not my fault. Dill made me do it! Dill pushed me off the sidewalk!”

On the plus side, Dill:

Alice isn’t hurt.

It’s all a blur? Yup, Dill’s arms and emotions are all a blur. Mess with a man’s car and you mess with his heart. Will he ever forgive her? She’ll probably bully him into forgiving her.

I don’t see any skid marks where she tried to stop from going off the sidewalk!!!
