    If he turns it around he’s got a divining rod.

    I can relate. My kindergartner took a blank piece of card stock last friday: “I present…White!”

    Dill is most human of all Blisshaven’s eccentric pupils, for he is the true omnivore—any thing, any where, any time. Hail, Dill (future husband of Alice)!

    Miss Bliss has it right. Dill stop fiddling with your stick or you’ll poke your eye out!(double entendre)

    I have a stick like that. Duck taped a bent fork to it. That’s one very handy tool.Among other things it’s just right for snagging those little chains on those dual speed ceiling fans.

    Is Ted Rall the guest artist? Looks like his style.

    Dill does seem to enjoy playing with sticks.

    “Icky the stick” makes a nostalgic return.

    Dill and Alice will not get married. Dill will grow up to be a corporate lawyer and politician…his wife will be someone out of Family Circle.Alice will one day abandon her career as an astrophysicist (they deal in naught-but-fantasy now) to become an international currency arbitrager and poet — if Thompson gets her Lithium level right…

    Did something happen to the artwork? Is someone else drawing the panels? It seems very different.

    Check ‘Pearls Before Swine’ today. Little tribute to Richard Thompson there. Sort of.

    I read this strip on paper and have been wondering what in the sam hill has been going on with the art. Today it occurred to me to check on line. Thanks to all the commenters for clarifying. Best wishes Mr, Thompson! And congrats on that Reuben!

    Have you changed artists for your drawings? If so, would you make an announcement on this page. Just for the record, the new-type drawing is not as engaging for this reader as was the old style.
