Transcript:
Kevin: I hate rhythm clapping game time. Alice: I need to work on my clapping skills or Petey's recital. Dill: You should bang pot lids together. Dill: My brother banged pot lids together last New Year's eve and a policeman came and yelled at him, it was so loud. Kevin: I keep missing. Alice: I don't want the police involved. It'd scare Petey. Dill: Then don't try fireworks! That New Year's, six policemen came. And a fire truck.

Based on what Alice said in the primary panel, the recital hasn’t occurred yet.

They should already have a pot lid player in the band.

“I got rhythm…”

Ol’ Buckethead Kevin is not very rhythmic! Dill’s memory is amazing, considering that he’s only four (and probably a young four, at that)! At least Alice is trying to be considerate of her brother.

This is my FAVORITE type of CdS strip: a bunch of little kids sitting in class, talking about their anxieties and fears like disenfranchised adults… and at least one of them is in the midst of an existential crisis. And because they’re so cute and their biggest problems concern things like clapping and finger paints, I can’t help but chuckle and grin! Excellent work, Mr. Thompson!

I wonder if Dill’s brothers are named Fred and George.

Life at Dill’s place is a real blast!

Everyone should get to throw fireworks while applauding at ball games, theater events and symphony performances. Include audience participation in the 1812 overture. Use bottle rockets in the orchestra seats to get even with the fireworks throwers in the balcony.

I always thought that the strips where we’ve got three or more different lines of thoughts/conversations going on at once were the ones Richard really excelled at, because he’d somehow always succeed at making every one of those thoughts/conversations end hilariously, so you get like a triple (or more) punchline at the end.
