Far from criticize, I think this comic has so much charm and conveys exactly the feeling I would expect.
Great work and I hope you get enjoyment from it.

Thanks RLAMOND. I'm glad your expectations are met.
And yeah, I do still get some enjoyment from it. Especially when I read a nice comment like yours!

I think the current strip captures the dissolve of a childhood argument perfectly! I continue to love the feel and voice of your work. I giggled. Gold star for you. ;-)

I read this whole thing today and I LOVE it! Oddly enough, I liked none of your recomendations; you blow them away. (No offence if any of those authors read this - you can't please everyone.) I don't have any criticism to add, but I gots to say the "Roll over for words" sign is confusing if you start at #1 (the Firstest!) since it isn't operational until many comix later, AND the first two updates have no words. Hope you update soon!

I came here from Count Your Sheep and I /much/ prefer this. I'm someone who knows nothing of professional, but I've been hoovering up comics of all kinds since I first saw The Beano (Some of us were quite stereotypical children....) and I love the way you're doing things here.
I love the way you can kind of get hints and even a sense of foreboding from some bits without it being obvious, and I actually quite like the way the panel order isn't always clear; it feels more dreamlike. Nice use of the graphics at your disposal with the speech behind the speech, and the jumbles of words - which are also quite a nice almost literary device.
And I like the way it feels like animation at times, but does things that wouldn't quite work in animation.
I'd second that she looks confusingly similar to her mother in some panels, but that's a minor thing. And I love the box 'surprise mothers', and that it had been 'flannels', and then 'flannel' comes back in and... I just love the way it all flows.
I suppose the expository rambling speech doesn't both me because it's a dream, and I expect that sort of thing in a dream. It's rather Alice. If she were rambling to herself like that when she's awake, that would be different.
Sorry for the long message: I seem to have come over all fannish today. Yay!
(Only real flaw in the comic is that there isn't enough of it. Why couldn't I have discovered it next year, when you'll have written more?)
