Transcript:
Alice: Oooh! A baseball! Petey: No! Let it be! Team sports give me a riash. Alice: Go! Fight! Slide! Noise: Pitonk! Petey: Yep, feels like guttate psoriasis this time... Alice: I can't see - your eye is in the way!
Dazed and bewildered, Petey was seeing triple after the concussion and blackened eye. Alice was not very helpful. --All of which goes to prove that Petey’s aversion to team sports is well founded.
The artwork seems different (particularly Petey in the second panel). Is this an older strip, was there a substitute inker at work, or is this just a slight variation in the normal course of doing a daily strip?

Hit in the eye and gets a rash. Attacked by the ball AND anxiety!

3 Alices wow. I hope your condition clears up soon Petey, because that’s more Alice than anybody could take. I hope you are doing well Richard.
