Transcript:
Alice: What if the jungle gym came to life and started to walk around? Would it use all its tube slides to vacuum up everybody who didn't want to play with it? Dill: Ha! My brothers would knock it bowlegged with their latest trebuchet! Alice: You underestimate the fury of a spurned jungle gym.

Darkforce, they’ll probably make a reality show out of it: You know, like “Man vs Food.” This’ll be “Jungle Gym vs Dill’s Brothers.” Or “Dill’s Brothers vs Toys.”
Alice will produce and host the show.
And we knew her before it all began….

Any one remember the anime movie Howl’s Moving Castle (2004)? That’s what panel 2 reminds me of.

Wouldn’t it be great if world leaders could sit in a swingset and calmly discuss how to divert disaster? (Without pushing each other off the swings.)

I haven’t seen Howl’s Moving Castle, but these past two strips have reminded me of Akira, with the jungle gym playing the role of Tetsuo…
