Drabble by Kevin Fagan for April 20, 2018

She knew the answer before she asked Alexander.

Big Brother is watching you!

“Open the pod bay doors, Alexander.”

“I’m afraid I can’t do that, Ralph….”

Nobody likes a tattletale.

“Among the features of this amazing device are instant information, advice and tattling!”

You already did: your diet.

Wait until Ralph finds out the brownies were a recreation of a recipe from the book of the month “I Love You Alice B. Toklas”

I thought Alexa was supposed to be smart. Telling on Ralph guarantees he’ll have an accident and drop her from a great height.

Bill Nye has a great video where his smart fridge won’t let him have any ice cream, so he gets in his smart car and tells it to take him to the ice cream place. The car says, “The fridge says you have had enough sugar for the day.”

Is this a subtle nod to 4/20? Don’t see brownies too often in this strip.

Ralph, it’s time to take up skeet shooting.

Wind?

Did Ralph eat ALL of the brownies? “Got into” sounds like he just ate some, but the second panel implies (to me) that the brownies are all gone. Good grief, not a smart move (impulsive eater I guess – starts and can’t stop?) – I had a diabetic relative that did that (with fudge) and it put him in the hospital!
