covers just this strip. However, I strongly suggest you NOT click the banana oil link.
When I did, it said I didn’t have the latest Flash Player software (believe me, I did), and downloaded something it wanted me to install. It’s been 5 years since Richard used that link; things have changed in the meantime (don’t blame Richard). If you want to check your Flash Player version, use

except maybe with the Google Chrome browser (which I think has Flash Player embedded in it, and keeps it current automatically).

says what banana oil is, if you didn’t already know.
And Alice’s lead off sentence. She is going to be high maintenance, Dill. I suspect you already know that, you just don’t yet know what to call it. Bonne chance, little boy.
Miss Bliss must have made a heck of a personal impression on parents to get them to bring their kids to the first three locations. Either that, or she got parents who didn’t care about their children and just wanted to dump them somewhere. Let’s go with the first possibility; it’s nicer.
Miss Bliss’s gift is knowing busy parents need to multi-task. FREE parking attracted parents to the first location. For the second, even tattooed people have children. The third location attracted pro-active parents – in Richard’s city (metro DC) traffic dictates everyone will eventually end up in a fender bender.
Alice, you’re not in these photos, because they are from the pre-Alician Era! But they still are interesting in showing Miss Bliss’s surprising grit and determination in creating Blisshaven Academy (which, BTW, has apparently been functioning in its present Cul de Sac location for at least 4 years, and probably more, since your older brother Petey also attended, and he’s twice your age)!

In the “Our First Home” setting, what you can’t see in the photo is another sign, further on, which reads “Abandon Hope, All Ye Who Enter Here”.

A curious history of a curious pre-school. Is it a haven for bliss? If so it is hidden in the by ways of society.

I’m betting that there was an old, pre-industrial, fruit stand there!
