   I’m still not sure I understand how it is that she can make *sounds* yet she can’t *talk*.

   Anybody else hear Dee speaking “Grownup” from the Peanuts cartoons?

   Many mutes can make sounds, they just cannot make the ones which result in intelligible speech.

   @Ronald, it’s also somewhat part of the strip reversal in that the animals can talk but not the human. Think of it this way: if you saw an animal in the strip making noise like “bark bark” but not saying words, I’m guessing it would not surprise you. :)

   That is a great explanation Chris! I thinks Little Dee is one of of the Smartest, and Best daily strips I have ever read. I guess thats why I have all four books. Any chance of an occasional one off of Blake, Aligator, Vachel, Alida, and Ted strips. I know that’s asking a lot but heh, It doesn’t hurt to ask.
   BTW really enjoy Space Trawler, and got a some guys at work to read it! They Loved It

   I’ve just finished reading the entire archive of this strip, and I have to say it’s one of the most adorable things I’ve ever seen that was not an actual kitten. Please keep doing this strip!
