Alice the family spokesman goes off-topic, releases too much info, is recalled for consultations by higher-ups. The idea of doing this as a press conference came to me when I realized that the Petey-Andre Playdate would be funnier off-stage, a clever cover-up for the fact I couldn't think of much for them to do that was funny. In this strip I like the crosshatching in panel two and the stray corn-popper in panel one. I regret not squeezing that popper into panel three.
And now an update from a previous post. I mentioned a scene in the movie Gregory's Girl and wondered if I remembered it correctly. Dan Halbert kindly sent me a screenshot and a fuller description.

It may amuse you to know that "Gregory's Girl" is available on DVD with the option to switch to the original soundtrack. Apparently the actors' burrs were so impenetrably thick that they had to re-voice the thing for overseas release.
"It's a well-known fact!" became a catch-phrase in our household for any bit of dubious nonsense being promoted. Love that movie!
Oh to be around that table with Petey & Andre & Mr Otterloop, though!
I love Alice's bare feet. I guess the Otterloops take their shoes off in the house so the carpets don't get dirty? The crossed arms in panel two go well with the cross hatching.
