I appreciate them zapping nuclear weapons. Really doing us a solid in my opinion

Alice, 3/18/24

Happy Monday, everybody! I've decided to add a few more strips into my repertoire, and here's Alice. Here it is! I would describe this art as being extremely deranged in a 1990s-specific way, and as a Gen Xer who used to read alt-weeklies when those were a thing, I'm delighted to see it. What the fuck is going on, exactly? Can the children see the aliens? Does "Aunty" (the titular Alice, perhaps?) know this is a terrifying spacecraft and is trying to protect the children from that awful knowledge, or does she genuinely think what's clearly a solid object is "just a cloud"? Are the ends of the spaceship transparent, allowing anyone to see inside, or is this like a cutaway drawing for the benefit of us readers, even though the exterior of the craft appears opaque to the characters? Why is one of the children not saying "Look?" Does she figure the other two are already doing it so why bother? Anyway, this is great, looking forward to more of it.
