Vincent Macropod in “Cartoon Baby”
Reverend Matt
It started simply enough. We thought we heard footsteps in the baby’s upstairs room, over at my sister-in-law’s. We didn’t, really, of course. Then, I drew a cartoon about it. So, um, I guess it ended simply enough too.
Car’s fine, now, thanks, though God knows how or why. Also, the wife and I, we were driving down the highway last week, and suddenly her right rear tire blew. Came off like it’d been hit with a giant apple-corer! So apparently it was automotive armageddon ’round about my house, last week. But it’s all over now! Or perhaps it isn’t! Complex systems HOORAY!

Things I like about this episode:
1) The tee shirt that says “EAT.” I want one of those.
2) Vincent’s apparently delighted expression upon learning that there are footsteps coming from the baby’s room.
3) “Lies!”
4) The slightly chilling, robotic cadence of the mother’s speech. I PUT BABY AWAY NOW.

5) I love that Vincent has a Cat-in-the-Hat puppet, for no apparent reason at all.

See, I envisioned the “I put baby away NOW!” to be spoken in some hilariously accented pidgeon English.
