Miss Bliss: Dill, as my Very Special Helper, you'll have to get me a box of glue sticks from the Supply Closet. Dill: Okay! Boy: The Supply Closet? She's sending him to the supply closet? Marcus: Word is that, in the event of an apocalyptic cataclysm, the Supply Closet is stockpiled with enough supplies to produce craft projects for generations! Alice: LOOK! Miss Bliss: There he goes!

This is like watching a two part episode. Just when things start to get interesting, the show’s over until next week. Fortunately, we only have to wait until tomorrow.

I’m not expecting a crash (I could be mistaken). I predict Dill will have a fleeting glimpse into a mysterious world, a veritable Shangri-La of (as toasteroven suggests), popsicle sticks, cotton balls, and googly eyes (maybe even CRAFT CORKS!) never before seen by 4 year-old eyes. Will he be changed by his experience? Will he return from his Glue Stick Quest with an aura of transcendent wonderment, having encountered that which cannot even be described to his peers? Might Dill truly attain Very Specialness?
On second thought, the sight of Dill’s head sprouting glue sticks might be too good to pass up…

I don’t think he will see anything special–but that won’t stop him from telling amazing stories about the legendary supply closet…

If we were headed for a sight gag, I doubt we’d have this much build-up. It’s only Tuesday, after all. (Again, though, I could be mistaken.) Dill’s misadventures with art supplies are usually just shown in the last panel of a single strip, as a supplement to whatever else is going on.
