what a helpful older brohter

Everything I Needed Know About Reading Comics I Learned from Peter Otterlooper.

Careful, Petey! Guess who Alice is going to blame after she falls off the big Rock Wall? With luck, Dill will be there to break her fall!

Petey will grow up to be a performance artist who’s masterpiece will be “Watching Paint Dry.” Then “Watching paint dry 2.”

I can laugh because I do sometimes spend way too much time looking at the frames of a comic looking for nuances.

I see a full body cast for Alice.Hope Dill can save her ;)

My life is full of nuances. HA! There’s goes one now!

“Petey! Stop inciting your sister!”

“Go Get ’em Tiger!!!!!!!!!!” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Nuance? How un-American! /snark

Better go get the ambulance.

You can always count on your nearly-dormant Big Brother for invigorating, energetic advice, Alice, if you listen to him just right….

(Petey may be the only person alive who hasn’t even noticed the admonitions to Stay at Home and maintain Social Distancing—I’m treating this as though our greatly missed cartoonist had not passed away four years ago.)

Nuances, new bruises, new band-aids…

And if there was ever a more practiced delver into minutia’s infinite possibilities, then it follows, Petey knows whereof he speaks.

And for the truly myopic reader, that should be “minutiae” (the plural is idiomatic).
