Miss Bliss: Miss Bliss is going to need a Very Special Helper! Who would like to be my very special Helper? DIl: OOGH! OOGH OOGH! OOGH! Miss Bliss: Thank you, Dill! You are my very special Helper! Dill: I am?
Interesting to note the subtle changes of expression on the children in Panel 3. Beni rolls his eyes; only Alice shows no change at all. She don’t want to be no “Very Special Helper.”

Love the look of delight/flattery/surprise on Dill’s face in panel 4. Only from a little kid. A crush is born.

Curious to see where this goes! Glad to see that he’s finally getting a little special-attention… even if he had to ask for it! ;)

That’s funny Gokie5. I didn’t even notice her expression since I was focusing on Dill.

That is only because the word “special” has suffered a shift in meaning and usage.

Easy, Dill; this may not be your “big moment” after all.Or, maybe it is! Go for it, Kid! You have nothing to lose….
