Marcus: My Mom's been scrapbooking everything I do. It's starting to get to me. Alice: What's scrapbooking, Marcus? Marcus: She glues every little doodle I make onto archival paper, adds some decorations around it, then puts it in a big scrapbook. Marcus: She finishes a book every week. And each one has my name on it in big letters. We're up to MARCUS VOLUME 23. Marcus: Lately, the awful pressure to produce quality scrapbook-worthy work is making me a nervous wreck. Like this- Marucs: It's supposed to be a drawing of a dog eating pancakes and look. It doesn't remotely resemble a dog eating pancakes! What'll I do? Marcus: This can't go into Marcus Volume 23! Alice: Change the title to "Monkey Spinning Plates." Dill: Oh, get a grip, man! It's almost recess!

Marcus, you fret too much. Embrace the fame! Become an obsessive megalomaniac.Or. follow Dill’s advice: chill, and go to recess.

Let’s see. “Marcus Volume 23” would mark 23 weeks or 161 days, not quite six months. If she’s still doing it for an entire year, then she needs therapy.

I think Renoir already used the title “Monkey Spinning Plates”.

Draw some pictures of you stabbing your mom and burning the scrap books. Then maybe she’ll give it a rest.

Lefties are usually better at drawing but worse at handwriting. I believe this is more or less true.Dill looks like a grumpy old man in the last 2 panels!
