I got to see my sister in a play at my old preschool. Petey: I bet I have to sit in a small chair. My mom stands in back with a video camera. Mom: Go find a seat, Petey. I've been dreading this for days. But guess what-I find a seat in a folding chair! Even better-it's got an obstructed view!

Petey’s running commentary/graphic novelization of the playgoing experience is terrific! And, from his rendering of Mom Madeline (panel 2), we can deduce from which side of the family Alice got her noticeable nose. But Petey is too fixated on not seeing the play.
