Every once in a while I’ll read one of these and just mourn all over again. Today’s isn’t anything more special than any other day and doesn’t touch on anything from my personal life. In fact, the feeling of loss of a personality and talent like Mister Thompson’s way too soon struck me as it was loading and before I knew which strip it would be.
One of the things that I like about this strip is that the animals can talk and apparently Alice can understand them. It is a break from what you would expect I think with this strip, because otherwise it is pretty normal, there are no aliens or people with super powers, its a normal world except Alice can understand animals.
Children have been shown to have abilities they lose in adulthood. Like understanding animals, and seeing fairies and taking with animated stuffed toys…

How does Alice know her family never vacuums the house? Maybe it is done while she’s away in preschool and at other classmates’ houses.

Suddenly, the name Mr. Danders makes sense. Some people are allergic to pet dander.

I hope someone her age I not expected to take care of it.

Of course Thompson drew in the trail of rodent droppings leaving the cage.

Are you certain that Alice isn’t alien? I’m pretty sure Petey has super powers.

Gotta respect a mom who has too many other things to do than vacuum.

I could not cozy up to the character of Mr. Danders (he’s way too full of himself), but I am glad tha Alice gets along with him so well….
