Transcript:
Petey: Ah. Teacher: Very, um, minimalist, Pete! Pete: I left out the part where my sister comes in and talks until she's used up all the oxygen in the room. Peter Otterloop Jr. stared at the ceiling, looking for his favorite spot. After hours of searching, he finally found it. The End.

You left out the best part, Pete!

@catfeet — or the worst part, from Petey’s point of view.

Just give it to him already. Leaf it to Fuzzy and Pearls before Whoop-Dee-Doo have run their course. Richard Thompson’s is the strip that I actually care to see every day. Richard Thompson for 2012! The rest are Pretenders. It ain’t just his line work.

Timmy’s critique is spot-on, if a trifle forced. Like any good author, Pete(y) knows that ruthless editing results in a tighter, better text.

I had a sister like that too, Petey.

Petey couldn’t include the part about Alice as that would have made the ending more uplifting.And that wouldn’t be Petey…now would it?
Elaine Rosco Premium Member over 13 years ago
That ending would have been way too graphic for Petey.

No wonder Petey looks so light-headed. Petey will never grow up to be be a script-writer for an action adventure television series. However, Andre mighteventually be behind the return of the A-Team to TV.

This strip is pure genius.

Reminds me way too much of my own brother in real life. Sigh…

Not minimalist enough! Pete should just have had himself just THINK “Ah” in a thought balloon so he wouldn’t have had to draw his open mouth.

It’s amazing what good artists these kids are! They draw themselves EXACTLY like they look!! Of course, they do all have a bit of Richard in them….I wonder if Loris’ cartoon tomorrow will include the teacher’s critique in the last panel — drawn before he even says it!!

Uh… not only did Alice talk and talk, Petey. She did manage to put up an amazing freak show!

So THAT’S why my house always feels funny after my sister leaves….

And Alice is still staring through my mind in that top banner. Cut it out!

Petey is definitely a textbook case of Asperger’s Syndrome — but with style!
MommaMadeMe over 13 years ago
My favorite spot takes a while to find, too. The changing light across the ceiling makes for an exhilerating challenge.

Where’s the ponytail?

OH! now I see it! I need new glasses?
