Viola: Well, look! It's the Amazing Alice Otterloop! Alice: Huh? Viola: I'll say it again - if I had a sister like you, I'd wear on my shoulder like a parrot just to amaze people! Here, I brought Petey's homework! Tell him to get better soon, so I won't have to lug his books around anymore. Beni: She's like a walking parade float. Alice: She's my hero!

I hope she sends Petey a get well card. It would cheer him immensely.

If by “cheer immensely” you mean “completely mortify,” then yes.

A walking parade float! Oh, man, that was good for him! ROFL

Amazing barely scrapes the surface of describing Alice. I notice she knows Alice’s last name correctly.

I think Alice is why I read this….

Those books can get heavy after a while.

Nice to know she actually knows Petey & Alice’s last name. On the other hand it just proves how cruel she is.

I don’t think Viola is cruel. Doesn’t it seem weird that in the same comic we find out not only that she’s learned the name Otterloop, but also that she knows who Alice is? There’s something behind this all.

It’s complicated but it goes something like this….Viola sweet-talking Petey’s narcistic little sister will help pave the way into Petey’s neurotic head.

I wonder if Viola will be Alice’s new baby sitter? And Petey can stay home and keep her company…..

I’m pretty sure Petey’s attraction to Viola is reciprocated, just in an odd way (and probably not as intensely). If Viola didn’t actually like Petey, she wouldn’t tease him so much.
That being said, I’m sure she knows the effect she has on Petey, and it suits her vanity to pull his strings…

Since when did Pinocchio have strings?
fritzoid Premium Member over 14 years ago
Only at the beginning of the story.
If Pinocchio had begun with no strings, there would have been no significance to his finding himself without them.

Viola has met Alice before. She has admired her spunk previously.

I think Viola got a haircut since her last appearance.

The next time she calls him Petey Potter-poop, I wish he would call her Nellie No-Knockers!
