Now, where were we?
I redrew this a coupla times trying to make Alice as animated as possible and maybe one more time would've done it, but maybe not. Somebody, maybe S.J;.Perelman, said something to the effect that he reworked his prose to hit the perfect balance between the incoherent and the lapidary, and I know what he means. Or I did after I looked up "lapidary." And it was probably Mark Twain who said it anyway.
Ew.
This started out as a parody of shampooese: the weird hybrid language used on hair care products. I was going to have a conversation entirely in shampooese but I couldn't figure out how to carry it off and have it make sense. So I used the old plot-counterplot trick and wrapped it up with Petey plotting out a chapter of Toad Zombies. And yes, having a small child washing her own hair with a possibly volatile combination of products is a Bad Idea That Should Not Be Attempted in the Home.

These are fantastic as alway! But I think that Petey's final line should be "they said". I'm not sure if you have a billion editors already snatching this stuff up before it goes into a collection but I couldn't just stand by and say nothing.
And I'm SO glad that my comment correcting your typo includes a typo.
Hmm. Sounds like Alice isn't lacing up her boots tightly enough.
But, still... y'know what's even more disgusting? Snot crust. I never realized just how disgusting that could be until I grew a moustache.
Double ew.
snow blower trebuchet = awesome.
