Michel, I'm guessing from your artwork that you dropped acid as a baby and have been hallucinating ever since. Am I way off on this?

I never did drop acid, so I have to think about this one some more -- but I can't tell you how thrilled I was to see one of those little Chinese umbrellas in the frontispiece.

Am I wrong, or do we not see these umbrellas in fruity alcoholic drinks? I believe my brother-in-law won't order a drink unless it has an umbrella in it. But thanks for noticing--the devil is in the details...

Well, I used to get them in Boston's Chinatown when I was in my primary years, when I wasn't much of a drinker -- as an adult, I do plenty of alcoholic drinks, but I insist upon the ones that *don't* have umbrellas in them. So I sort of assumed that the umbrellas are now made of plastic instead of those little bamboo and paper things.
Upon reflection, I'll comment that the mice did a number on the dollhouse I built my girlfriend (now life companion) in the 25 years it was stored at my parents' house -- so this strip may not have brought back the fondest associations...die, Mary Droppins, die!

Hope the next episode is about the hunky ken-doll at the end.

I am so glad you're into him. Yeah, I think that might develop quite nicely. I'm wondering if I've stretched my audience's patience to its limits with the dollhouse theme, however. Personally, I'd like to see Barbie kick Ken's ass for fooling around with Dollhouse Mom...

Unfortunately, when Mary leaves her "droppins" on my kitchen counter, she tends to wind up in a trap!

Yeah, if you visit my blog you'll find a note about the musical numbers to be included in the movie version of this comic, including "A Spoonful of Cheese Makes the Medicine Go Down," "Flee the Birds", and "Let's Take a Shit on This Chick's Stove".

You, my friend, are a nutjob. I can't wait until GI Joe shows up. He can kick Ken's ass.

Actually, I believe GI Joe is gay and Ken kind of has a thing for him.

Does the boy who stopped selling drugs and went to chimney sweep school have a realy bad Brit accent? "el-o Mary Droppins - look, its all me pals!"
Round the chimney droppins time, round the chimney droppins time, never need a reason, never need a rhyme, round the chimney droppins time.

Oh, thanks, mate. I'll add that to the song list.
Actually, the boy got a tuition discount because Mary Droppins was sleeping with the headmaster.

The dollhouse motif is delightfully weird.
You give me hope that I can still mine the kids for material after they're out of diapers.

Out of diapers? I'll be revealing the most embarrassing moments of my children's lives long after they're married!
You're just so brilliant because you started early. Those first years are by far the most fertile ground.
