Ask Alice



If I could shrink, just a little, would it be worth it to not hit my head on something, as often as I do?
Would I still be able to reach items on top shelves, for myself and for random strangers in super markets?
I don't know.
I do know that some people with straight hair wish they had more wave while some with curly hair wish theirs was straighter.
Some people with red hair wish their hair wasn't red, while a lot of brunettes dye their hair blond.
Some go grey and others cover it up.
Hitting my head hurts, but if I was shorter, would I wish I was taller?
There are many examples of this sort of questioning going horribly wrong in film and literature.

Hank *is* a very small hippo,
so you can't really blame him for trying.


Thank you Zo for the comic!

Hank, tiny and cute, but not very good with kids.

new friends

We've been in this house almost 2 years now and, finally, my hippo is starting to make new friends.


Hi, I'm Hank! I recommend the granola!

Hippos, even miniature ones, do not tip toe through anything.
