Pie fight button, now there’s a concept I really like!

And Petey slips off the sofa [N.B. not Alice’s friend] on which Alice is standing? What is wrong with the world today? Click

Monkeys don’t like pie fights. They like throwing something else.

Pie Fighting channel!!! A channel devoted for bringing back slapstick humor.

I love the way Richard moved Petey out of the way to allow for the larger word balloons in the panel.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a good pie fight. If Alice can find the pie fight channel, I’ll watch it.

I thought Petey would find the Monkey Button disconcerting. And pies are just messy. Are they CREAM pies? Ugh. CREAM pies remind me of clowns.

“The clicker”? How old do you have to be to remember when the remote clicked? (Or even was called “the clicker”?)
glenardis about 13 years ago
QuiteDragon “clicker” was old but now it is new.
with the introduction of SMART technology in schools we have reintroduced the term clicker. The small device that is used to input to the board is called a clicker. So to is the device that the students use to respond to questions.

Another incredible Sunday strip that I missed out on. R. Thompson is a frikkin’ genius. This strip is so fresh and always keeps you guessing on what’s next. 2 opposable thumbs up. Oook Oook Eeek Eeek!
