Transcript:
Alice: First, let me point out The Petey's bookshelves. Note the care with which he gathers and stores comic books, catalogs and expired pizza coupons. Beni: Ah! Alice: Now we pass The Petey's window, which serves no evident purpose as he's never once looked out of it. On to the under-bed area. Here The Petey keeps the shoebox diroamas he fashions to make sense of a big, confusing world. Dill: Ah-ha. Alice: Finally, The Petey himself. Note how his gaze does not flicker from the reading material, and yet he maintains an instinctive awareness of our presence. Petey: ALICE - Beni: Ah. Petey: They're "graphic novels," not "comic books." Alice: Thank you! Please come again! Dill: That was very enjoyable! Beni: It was like a TV nature shoe, but with the nature part removed.

It appears we have a serial packrat in the making… But an organized one at least!

Yep, that window has no apparent purpose since not only does Petey never look out of it, but he’s also on the gloomy side so probably doesn’t care if there’s sunshine in his room or not… And yes, I’d pay at least a quarter for that tour, probably even 30 cents!!

And so begins Alice’s career as a tour guide.

I discover, from time to time, that I, too, have a collection of expired pizza coupons. Not that this is a good thing.

This comic is like watching a TV talk show, but with the commercials removed.

I’m pretty sure this isn’t what Mr. Thompson intended - I could be wrong - but “The Petey” cracks me up because it reminds me of how Donald Trump is sometimes referred to as “The Donald.” I find the dichotomy between Mr. Trump’s persona and Petey’s personality to be an amusing concept! :)

I think it is sweet how tolerant the Petey is toward his twisted sister. Most big brothers would be screaming at multiple short people invading their space.
