    Alice makes an astute observation.

    These children have never observed a house being built before? Where have they been?

    Poor Beni. It is an ignorant adult indeed who wantonly tousles hair.

    I love the literalness of children’s thinking. Sometimes.

    the third panel is real deep. Just a small kid contemplating life, looking at a ball, waitin’ for a friend. Most cartoonist’s wouldn’t think to include that panel. Richard Thompson is a genius.

    Love this one as well as all the comments. The first experiences od many kids envolve construction projects in their neighborhoods and Richard may show us more as these houses are built (or not-because this was the joke). It took me back to building of a highway in my neighborhood- and walking on the girders high in the air when workers were not there.
