Catchy jingle

Tune’s nice, but the lyrics are kinda … I dunno, repetitive.

Lol. Kids like Alice are so cute and funny in comics, yet so tiring in real life. Gotta love ‘em anyway though. :)

Parents, do not allow your children to watch anything but PBS.

Great marketing – just a one word jingle, easy to remember even for a 4 year old – LOL! Now I’ll probably have that jingle stuck in my head all day long and I don’t even know the tune… Gee, thanks, Alice!

My wife has not had a television since she was a teenager, but she can still sing the jingles from all the commercials from the past.

That’s what you get for feeding them all those sugar laden cereals.

I am guessing the melody is the same as one gets by pounding a nail with a hammer over and over again.

I like mom’s fist in the last panel.

At least the BLAMMO jingle on TV comes with a mute button.

Love Alice’s face in the second panel !

Don’t worry. As soon as Mom gets the costume made, Alice will change her mind and want to be her new favorite thing instead.

It’s easier that singing, “Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs!” over and over.
