Today's Cul de Sac, October 8 2010
That's a nod toward Batman/Bruce Wayne there in that second panel. If circumstances had been a little different Michael Keaton might have one day donned the pangolin costume.
A quick check shows Alice's path is reasonably clear if she wants to become a pangolin themed super moocher, a search for Pangolin costumes comes up pretty dry other than a couple of furries (or scalies I guess). Found a cool Pangolin backpack that costs a fortune and doesn't look that convenient, but still very neat.
Thanks Alice and Richard for your enthusiasm for pangolins! To learn more about pangolins and how to help them, visit SavePangolins.org, or our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/SavePangolinsorg/141020739265694.
I immediately thought of Alice's pangolin obsession when a friend posted a link to this today on Facebook. The world's only know suit of pangolin-scale armor! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Coat_of_Pangolin_scales.JPG

No, Robin should've been the one wearing a pangolin costume. He would've been named... The Pangolad!
Okay, sorry...
As a parent of younguns, the solution is always an appropriately colored sweatsuit (in this case, brown) and face paint.
I think Alice's mom would agree.
Extra touches could include headband with ears and "scales" drawn onto sweatsuit with fabric paint.
**Also, I love how her drawing is glowing in the last panel :). I just put in the high-pitched "aaa" sound effect myself.
I see the second panel as less of a 'Batman' and more of an Edward Gorey homage.
Alice would make an interesting Ghastlycrumb Tiny.
Today's Capcha: excrumm v. to clean a breadboard after slicing a bagel.

Yes! I recognized the Batman theme immediately. Nice going.
