Petey, you wild and crazy guy!

Viola sure is observing it. She looks like the bride of frankenstein.

Good for Viola. I miss big ’80s hair.

I’ll bet if they dig in there they could find the Lindbergh baby.

rayannina I miss the whole eighties look…

He’s shrieking inside.

I remember dressing up for “Grub Day” in High School. But I left a book on the bus and had to go to the Junior High down the street to reclaim it! Dressed as a…

…actually, pretty close to what any teenager wears today!!

The ruffled feather look is an improvement.

He is in love! aweeeeeeee

If he’ll even do that for her, you know it’s serious.

Are you HAPPY NOW?

When did they invent all these silly “Days” in schools? Funny hats, pajamas, pirate-talk, whatever.

Who started it? Teachers? School administrators? The teachers unions? Talk radio hosts?

I’ll have to ask my school-teacher GF, who has a set of pajamas she reserves solely for Wear-Pajamas-to-School Day.

(None of this would have made my year in sixth grade more bearable, may Miss Graham’s evil soul writhe in hell, if there were such a place.)

hehehehehehehehe!!! I LOVE IT!

I think if your hair goes “gwinch, gwinch” it’s time for a wash.

woo weee ! Crazy Hair Day !!!

love your avatar gillbill.

and I LOVE RT’s sound effects! “gwinch, gwinch, gwinch” rotfl!

i guess i can’t observe crazy hair day then

:-(

My husband remembers having “pajama day” in high school, and he is 65.

We had “bermudas day” at my high school. Getting to wear bermudas was a big deal.

When I was in school, girls had to wear dresses or skirts. Boys were required to wear long pants with belts (no jeans because they claimed the rivets scratched the wood furniture).

That was in the 60’s and I think everyone had crazy hair.

Considering how little Petey’s got to work with, he didn’t do too bad.

Of course, if they ever DO institute Stick in the Mud Day, Petey will be the standard against which all others are judged.

TWO days until National Cartoonists Day!

Petey must really like Viola .

I think you are right about that!

I never would have caved to the masses. I gotta be me.

Great pacing in today’s strip.

Also love the character drawn trhrough the first two frames to pan the camera, as it were.

My hairs been crazier than that add more gusto both of you

my hair normaly looks like Peteys crazy hair
