Okay, Alice clearly knows what a big hulking monster a fish-slapping bear is, yet she still has an overwhelming desire to see one up close? Stick to your press secretary job, Alice.
“And Petey has released a statement, indicating that he has gone into seclusion to ‘refresh, regenerate, and recover’ and hopes you all will respect his privacy in this challenging time.”
The art of panel 1 is so subtle yet laden with humor: Nara and Kevin speak up perfectly from and for the press pool; Andre gives that perfect little celebrity wave to the fans; Madeline the chauffeur-bodyguard clears and leads the way; Alice the press secretary follows and stays to deal with the rabid reporters!
Unfortunately, her graphic is not very helpful, unless you accept that her secret agenda is to get back to the topic of Fish-Slapping Bears!

FYI, a bear slap does 3D6 of damage. So…. ouch.

It doesn’t appear she can really draw a fish-slapping bear, either. Pete’s head is easy – just draw a light bulb and add hair.

hard to imagine that those kids stood there that long to get updates on Petey’s playdate.
