Realization is tough…

the best Petey’s

Petey seems to be taking this harder than his sister.
killacowinWA about 12 years ago
Oh, to again be at the age when a bloody knee is the biggest concern in the world.

Alice is getting angry instead of frightened — that means she’s less likely to cry or freak out. But Petey has a good freak-out going.
Sisyphos about 12 years ago
Petey’s crisis-crescendo is so typical, so hilarious! But, still, it is out of concern for Alice, whose frustration with her big brother, sympathetic but obsessively frozen, is valid.

You’ll live, Alice. It’s just a boo-boo.
Bittermelon of Truth about 12 years ago
This brings to mind a story arc in “Warehouse 13” (I hope there are scifi fans around here)… Alice is the one hurt but Petey feels the pain!
taratus about 12 years ago
Peter has teeth.
celeconecca about 12 years ago
the increasing panic on Petey’s face – wonderfully done!
katybissell about 12 years ago
aww, Petey’s being such a good big brother!
keltii about 12 years ago
My son and daughter are just like this! My son has aspergers, and would go into panic mode trying to protect his little sister, and she would have to calm him down! They are now 21 and 17. He lives on his own now and still calls once in a while to check in.

See, I told you yesterday Petey really does CARE about his little sister! The concern came first, then panic AFTER he realized blood was involved. :-D
Popeyesforearm about 12 years ago
Petey’s nothing if he ain’t cool in the face of adversity.
Comic Minister Premium Member about 12 years ago
Oh no!
angusdad about 12 years ago
Why do I have a feeling that Petey is going to faint before this is all over.
AbbeyC5 about 12 years ago
awww this is sweet & brings back such memories!
Constance Hecht about 12 years ago
I feel so bad about Mr. Thompson and will say a prayer for him. Anybody give any thought to running the strip from the beginning again. I am a fairly new viewer and would enjoy seeing the start of this great strip.
calvinsfriend110 about 12 years ago
I want to hug her.
mike_slmi about 12 years ago
Keep those eyes averted Petey. :D
tazz555 about 12 years ago
Is this the final arch?
JanLC about 12 years ago
I think it is sweet the way Petey is trying to take care of his little sister even though his panic level is rising.

Me too.

Poor Petey! He tried so hard to stay calm.
