Petey prefers comics with very little action in them

Draw it using the dirt between Alice’s toes; that should be gritty enough.

How does teaching kids about gritty realism help them make cartoons?

C’mon, Petey. Since when don’t you like comics with kids in them? What about Little Neuro?

Great dialogue.

“Gummy” and “sticky” are courtesy of Dill.

That’ll lead to “gritty”.

Petey, you do realize that you are a kid in a comic, don’t you?

Turns out nice, all gummy and sticky, grand ma will love it. Ya think?

“If it turns out nice.” I love her optimism.

This family is so screwed up it’s absolutely hilarious.

I love Madeline, trying to create some normality

Isn’t that the new Ford Bronco ??

What is soon to be discarded refrigerator decorating for parents is treasure for us grandparents.

Don’t give it to the grandmother. They like to think that all of their grandchildren are precious little angels and can do no wrong.

Oh, no, Madeline! Don’t encourage Alice’s attempt to muscle in on Petey’s cartoon camp assignment! Let your firstborn do his own Thing!
