Dill is probably the only 4 year old in the school with an ulcer.

So do I, Dill, so do I.

The pessimistic answer, the conspiracy answer, and the viable answer.

They calls him Apocalyptic Dill!

Preschool is apocalypse now. No Bliss can save you.

It’s the end of the world as we know it…

A parent going back to school is kinda like the end…

Wow, poor Dill. Anxious all the time

fun fact – the same strips ran almost exactly 10 years ago. If you want to peek ahead, look in October 2012

Signs, signs, everywhere signs! It takes a keen intellect and a shrewd sense to properly interpret them. Thanks Alice.

My former employer went through a phase where everything had to be labeled, but I forget why…

Alice chooses her preferred version of the Truth About Signs in the Classroom. It also is one of the earliest expressions of how close she and Dill are and will further become.

Beni’s answer is cynical (but could be true). We have to trust Miss Bliss, though, because she is The Teacher….

Many school board candidate from the Right are using Dill’s claim as a platform piece.
