The Annotated Alice!

This one is my reaction to people who bad mouth TV. I like TV. I've learned a lot from TV. Just because something is in print doesn't make it instantly superior to another media. Don't get me wrong, I'm a voracious reader, I just don't like blanket dismissals of any medium.
This strip is also one of the few three panel strips I've done. I know that many newspaper cartoonists use the three-panel format since it gives them more room. I find the rhythm is more natural with four panels. Ba-ba-ba-bum!
