yeah, you get paid as a volunteer at a one-day event

Any chance Alice may have been adopted? She certainly doesn’t seem to share any personality traits with the other members of family Otterloop. (Ummm; maybe Grandma)

Once again, Alice is too grown up for her own good.

No, no! If you signup Daddy for “Ketchup Monitor”, he’ll eat it all before the Picnic even begins!

i’ll cut the mustard

had not noticed before – mom is a lefty

Those crazed eyes in panel two, shudder

Oh I’m sure he’ll be thrilled doo-dooless.

There is an axiom I learned as a Boy Scout leader: Professionals work & get paid; amateurs work & don’t get paid; volunteers work & pay.

After all, Dad is a member of the Ketchup Board.

The word “volunteer” is too big for Alice’s comprehension. Or, she’s a little member of the “Greed Is Good” cult….
