Monday is gross and confusing

Alice, 10/6/25

We all know of course about the various beloved characters in Alice, the normal comic strip we all read every day and fully understand: Alice, Alice's friend, Alice's boyfriend, Alice's niece, and the late Kurt Vonnegut, who is both Alice's doctor and her vet. Today's strip features a couple of our more outlandish favorites, Alice's robot antagonist and the space alien who's in love with her, but also ... someone new! A glowing orb of some sort who judges the living and the dead, or maybe just asks you where you're from. Frankly there's getting to be more of these guys than I would ideally like to keep track of! Yet I persist, for my faithful blog readers, for whom I read Alice and other comics so they don't have to.

Hi and Lois, 10/6/25
