Transcript:
Alice: You know what I wish? Beni: What? Alice: I wish that when I got mad I could pull my own head off and throw it at people. Nara: What would you do for a head? Alice: I'd grow a new one each time. Beni: So the place would be full of old Alice heads? Dill: Would they all keep talking? Please say no.

Okay, I liked the newer strips (I’d never seen these older ones) but now I see why it was SO well recieved right from the get go. These are much better even if the art is messier.
And I have to say, I applaud Mr. Thompson for stopping the strip even if it was “good enough” if part of the deteroation in the humor was due to his health issues preventing him from being as engaged.

One Alice head is more than enough.

In that case, Alice wouldn’t have to worry about “losing her head”.

Alice’s mom must have read her “The Road to Oz”. In that book, the ‘Scoodlers’ threw their heads when the were mad at someone. It was terrifying to me when I read it as a small child.

Every so often, I wish I could take my feet off, and give them a nice pedicure, just the way I want. Then put them back on.

“I can see why this was such a well received strip from the beginning. (Very few strips start out doing so well when it usually takes a few years to reach its best stride.)”-Me too.

Their immediate grasp of the potential consequences of Alice’s wish provides insight into the often underestimated intelligence and insight of kindergartners. Also let me say I found this immensely hilarious. The buzz from this should last all day.
