Alibi.

Spring 2003. Yeah, definitely some work needed on these - it's funny and all, but everything from who is talking (why is Carson squinting out the window and directing the telescope?) to the whole tub thing (this only works with female characters and their children - anything else goes to a slightly creepy vibe) just doesn't quite work. Also I have no idea who Chip is talking to (Mom?) and he's doing that same "cooking in the background" thing I tore apart in one of my other comic strips. Cooking is the most distracting thing you can have your character do: you may as well have them juggle or ride a pony, it's the same thing.
