UFO landing… sure, Alice

Alice is clearly the offspring of aliens, so they check up on her occasionally.

Is Mr. Danders angling for some verbal abuse or is it just the other thing?

The world is not right unless your weight is on your own feet. And she isn’t using his name.

Alice is always in her own world. Maybe that UFO will come back and take Mr. Danders to a planet where people will listen to him and not carry him around. (Personally, I would rather that the UFO take Ernesto instead—Earth would weigh less without his smart-aleck brain.)

Poor Danders. No one understands him.

I hope there are no holes in the fence……

You know, in some parts of the world Guinea Pigs are raised for food. I’m just saying.

Ah yes, the grand tour. Something I always enjoy best when held up by my armpits, feet dangling.

If she puts him down he might run off.

Danders has a one-track mind. To be sure, he is only a guinea pig. Still, he might show or feign some interest in Alice’s tour! Ungrateful wretch!
