Transcript:
Alice: Oops. Woman: UH-OH! That's what we always say when we do an Oopsie! Uh-oh! Uh-oh! Uh-oh! Ha-ha ha! Alice: The Uh-Oh Baby comes in adult size, too. Beni: You never knock on my door with good news.
or maybe this is like soap operas where you have a character who is a baby one week and a year or two later it is now an adult — so maybe this really is the “uh-oh baby”, just grown up!!! If not, maybe there’s some “uh-oh!” virus or something that spreads this horror in the Cul de Sac neighborhood.
The Uh-Oh Baby is one of my favourite comic strip creations… in the vast history of comic strips… and it is but a simple throw away series of jokes… it could easily take over the entire run of a lesser daily… but competition for that position is way steep on the powerful character driven cul de sac…
I love each and every one of the days that the scary little tyke shows up. I send out e-mails to my friends to come here on those days and to check it out (they are not addicted to the strip in the same way I feel it deserves to be followed).
Now we have the Uh-Oh Adult (I love how rayannina has given her the name Uh-Oh Blonde). Oh Joy!!! Oh Bliss!!!

Not good news, but important nonetheless.

Also good: the way Alice’s hair stands on end in Panel 2 when the Uh-Oh Blonde shows up.

This is the kind of thing that makes me so happy Cul de Sac exists! Otherwise, these scary bits of information might escape notice~~~~

Poor Alice - frozen with fear like a deer caught in headlights.

Beni’s going to appreciate having his own ‘portent of doom’ when 2012 rolls around. I should know, I’ve seen the trailer.

Maybe it’s the uh-oh baby’s mom!!!!!! Gasp! I do love Alice’s face in the second panel though.

It’s people like the Uh-Oh Lady what cause unrest.

They should have the scary, horror flick type music queued for the third panel.

OK, this is the tipping point that has made me go buy Cul de Sac books on Amazon. Wonderful stuff.

Don’t forget, “The UH-oh baby is a portent of DOOM!”
Don’t fall in love with it, that way lies madness - or soiled diaper-changing, I forget which.

I think “uh-oh adults” are the ones who train the “uh-oh babies” before sending them out into the world to spread portents of doom!

She was probably trying to infect Alice!
calvin.hobbes over 4 years ago
she is the trainer of uh-oh babys, she was trying to recruit/brainwash Alice
