Has Alice’s new-found hero shattered her fantasies on the hard reality of a “highly desirable…cup”? How long will Petey’s Meditation Upon a Wasp last? Will Dill really eat a bucketful of sand? —The drama is just too intense!

Richard this has to be one of my favorite story lines so far. Of course I’d love a close up of this foil lined movie tie-in collector cup… priceless

That “mega gulp cup” looks like a shot glass in Andre’s hand.

My new favorite comics quote: “Ooh! A highly desirable super-rare collector’s choice limited edition foil-embossed fast-food movie tie-in Mega-Gulp cup! Score!” What a mouthful! And yet, grasped in Andre’s hand, the beverage vessel to end all beverage vessels pales in comparison to his massive phalanges.

I hope Andre does not just walk away with the cup, leaving Alice to dance alone. She needs an audience.

BUM BUM….the suspense builds…..who will win Alices’s heart over?Andre, with his courage and strength to shout at a wasp to scare it away, and pick up the soda can someone trashed at the manhole, or Dill with his bucket of sand?
