Transcript:
Petey: What do you mean, my scalp jumps up and down when I talk? Alice: It does. And your hairs so orange that it's distracting. Petey: My hair's not orange. It's red! Mom says redheads have fiery, un-compromising temperaments! Alice: Petey, your hair is orange. Petey: Yeah, okay, maybe. Alice: Trust me, we studied colors in preschool this year.

I wonder what Alice calls her hair color if it’s not auburn (when it really is)?

Alice’s hair is really rust color.

If Petey’s hair is orange (and I’ll trust Alice’s informed assessment), I’d call Alice’s hair “burnt orange” and note that Mom’s description applies to her also….

Most redheads are strange to me, must be the color, you think?

I think that Petey is admitting that he’s not a redhead (fiery, uncompromising), but an orangehead (maybe not so much that other stuff).

Nervous about fiery, somewhat compromising.

I’d say Alice’s hair is “brick red.”

Life was so much simpler when we were drawing from the 8 pack. Gokie – Yes, agreed. It’s beautifully rendered, isn’t it?
