so much time on Dill’s brothers’ hands

Always thought Dill’s hat was their masterpiece. C’mon, it’s certainly not off the rack!

Congrats on the 1 horse head bookend, Petey! What happened to the 2nd.?

Your brother will one day be a world famous dioramist, and you will be able to bask in his glory.

Dill also has the scariest brothers. :D

Panel 3 is hilarious. Every panel in this strip is funny of course.

I love the different expressions on Alice’s face. Really well done.

Gosh! You’d think Dill’s brothers would have their own show on The History Channel by now.

I like how we never see Dill’s brothers’ handiwork – it’s what’s imagined that is captivating.

So they loaded the Santa Claus figure with a chaff decoy system in case of incoming missiles?

Doesn’t that Shoe-box Diorama that was a scathing commentary on helicopters count? ☺

Yea… It looks like “The brothers” put a bra on top of his head.

Looks like Dill’s brothers made his hat from a bra they found in the trash out side a (ahem) cub.

Petey may be a bit sedentary, but he DID go trick or treating for her and actually give her the candy. He’s a great brother.

Those hats are really easy to sew. Fun too. :)

“Horse head bookends” is a punchline used several times in a comedy from several years ago. Name that film.

Dill’s brothers work in the KaBooM! style. Petey works in the church mouse understated style. Be careful what you wish for Alice. My guess is her awe would soon turn to horror when Dill’s brothers use her as trebuchet fodder.

The Wedekind Brothers Santa Project has a defensive tinsel-shooter built in! Those crazy brothers think of everything! For all the trouble they cause him, Dill is in a way blessed to have such remarkable big brothers.

And Alice is blessed to have quiet but reliable Petey as her big brother.
