Transcript:
Mom: I'd like a scoop of ChocoMochaLoco in a sugar cone, please. Alice: I want the blue flavor. Petey: I'll have the beige flavor in a cup. Mom: Here you go, Alice. Alice: Boy oh boy! Petey: Be careful eating that thing. Alice: I am. Petey: You have to rotate it constantly. Alice: Okay. Petey: Hot, humid air makes it highly unstable. Alice: Okay. Petey: The whole mass could shift suddenly. Alice: OKAY. Petey: And you don't want that to happen. Alice: UGHK - Petey: Ancient Picts painted themselves blue to show fierceness in battle. Alice: PETEY MADE ME NERVOUS ABOUT MY ICE CREAM. Mom: Alice, we'll have to hose you off in the driveway like last time.

Petey has such wonderfully inventive ways of torturing his little sister. Well played, sir, well played!

Alice’s blue ice cream must be steroid flavored.

I like blue ice cream myself.

Alice looks like a blue ghost from Pac-Man.

It’s all in the perspective: as Petey taunts, Alice experiences blue ice cream swelling to overwhelming proportions, and then…poof!, it’s hose-me-down time! I think Alice gets a freebie at Petey for this!

It’s the line about the Picts that makes the comic.

I like the “… like last time”. Alice apparently has a history of doing this with ice cream cones.

If only we could control this resource, one ice cream cone could feed a family, assuming they like the same flavor.

The Romans would have liked the Picts better if they had been covered in ice cream.

Petey plays it safe and gets the cup. Who wants sticky hands anyway?

Wait a minute, exactly what flavor is “beige”? The picky eater in me wants to know…

Petey this is your fault for agitating your sister’s ice cream, now apologize and help hose her off!

Brings back memories of the days before seatbelts, standing up while my dad drove, hovering over him from behind, quick stop, and blamo, my melting icecream cone in his ear. LOL!
