Alice I want a pink nap mat, with flowers all over it. Mom: We'll see. Alice: That one! It's just what I want!

Alice: Put it down and I'll try it! Alice: Whoa. It's so soft. Yikes! Mom: Okay, get off it, Alice. Mom: No extreme comfibility for my discerning preschooler.

I was flabbergasted of seeing such a store that sells bed stuff for tykes.

Again, Richard posted a blog entry for this strip. There was also one yesterday; but, I didn’t point to it, because it said nothing about that strip.This being a Sunday, a week of daily strips, yet to be seen in the rerun, have preceded it. The blog entries for that week were more sporadic than in the past; expect that going forward. I won’t point to one before all the strips it covers have been shown in the rerun.P.S. For those who don’t already know, Richard’s Parkinson’s Disease, diagnosed in 2009, forced him to end the strip in 2012, the last being on September 23. GoComics started a 5 year rerun, beginning with the September 10, 2007, strip, on September 24; so, the third year is nearly complete — time flies.So far, 2 weeks of strips have been skipped in the rerun for whatever reason — currently, a daily strip in 2015 is from the previous day, not 14 days like the first was, in 2010, and a Sunday strip in 2015 is from the next Sunday in 2010.

From pink to blue, with a lot of extreme comfibility in between….

If I were Madeline, I’d grab that up and keep it for home use. Might come in very handy.

If Alice get’s something simular to that she would have to sleep on her back and breath through her nose to prevent drowning in comfortness.

I want to find this store. Would love to have one of those for my bed.

I always wished that Richard could have gotten someone to do his drawing for him. It was his imagination that was priceless. I don’t suppose that would have been cost effective though, to have two people working on the same strip. We miss him.

Or how about a green mat with clovers? Or a yellow one with butterflies? Maybe a red one with puppies?
