Transcript:
Alice: Okay, quarter! Find something good! My mood for the foreseeable future depends on it! Here goes - Noise: CLICK CLUNK Alice: Yes! I got a little toy dinosaur! Ha ha! Boy, if I'd gotten one more stupid plastic whistle my head would've exploded! Mom: Let's see if we can get home before the food spoils.

“R Thompson?” I thought we had a few more replacements.
Perhaps the treatments went better than we’d hoped?

Alice, Alice, Alice…. Dinosaurs are SO passé! Plastic whistles, on the other hand, are retro and definitely cool! —Unspoiled food is good, too.

Unlike Calvin, I never had any interest in dinosaurs. I never even saw Jurrasic Park.

MrGromit: See RT’s blog. He is writing and penciling, and illustrator/cartoonist Stacy Curtis is inking (if I understand things correctly). Only if George Herriman were brought back from the dead could anyone equal Richard Thompson’s line quality, but at least Alice is back as her true self here, and a welcome to her!

I usually try to get superballs out of those things.

One good thing about trinkets from machines or fast-food places is that, when you are plowing through the avalanche of toys on the floor, you can throw them out with impunity. You know they’re not essential parts of some game or construction set.

I grew up in the Star Trek era, Fellow Baby. That is what fascinated me.

Richard, the thought of Pastis doing your strip for a week must have scared you back to health again?!
