I also thought Petey didn’t like produce.

So many secrets from Petey…

Just wait until Petey gets a look at a tomato bug.

And don’t let him see the film “The Martian”

Petey could probably find a way to eat only man-made products. Not sure how he feels about eating things grown in dirt that have been processed into livestock.

Why are little girls brighter than their big brothers?

Does Alice know where lamb chops come from?

Well, we call it “dirt,” but it’s really The Hand of God. ~ The Book of Moron

What is wrong with that boy?

I once had a classroom full of 4th graders in hysterics when I explained “root vegetables”. Onions, carrots, radishes – nah, we don’t eat those anyway. Well, how about potatoes? THAT was a different matter!

Alice is a prosaic little thing, I don’t think anything fazes her.

Jell-O doesn’t come from dirt.

Good one! Everybody knows vegetables come from the grocery store!

Well…he eats dirt, doesn’t he?

My dad grows a lot of weeds in his garden!

Don’t tell children things unless you want everyone else to find out.

Love the expression on Alice’s face in panel 3. Richard was so talented!

But, surely, Petey (My Hero!) must know about farms?
