    I love when there’s a strip I’ve not seen before.

    Fontanelle leads quite an exciting life. He’ll be bored stiff in 30 years.

    Fontanelle looks a lot like Peter as an infant.

    I do love the sea mine in the bathtub! And “perfidious!” Where else would you see such things in a comic strip?

    Fontanelle riding in the back of the family station wagon in the 1950s.

    I don’t think you’ll like the ending to this one, Alice.

    RIP Harambe.

    If you want to make this strip a little icky, look up the word “fontanelle”

    Fictional books within comic strips are a fascinating phenom, like in “Calvin and Hobbes” by Bill Watterson, with “Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooey” by Mabel Syrup and the sequel “Commander Coriander Salamander and ’er Single Hander BellyLander”. Richard Thompson’s contribution “Fontanelle the Imperiled Infant” series is a magnificent effort as well.

    For a long time DC had a store named Commander Salamander. One of the best.

    Alice is likable today! And, of course, so is Peter. What a charming father-daughter moment. (I’m not so keen on “Fontanelle the Imperiled Infant,” though.)

    I had to check. Fontanelle is the soft spot of the infant’s skull. Richard Thomas was masterful on multiple levels.
