    • Alice has something that isn't exactly a tongue, but it more-or-less has the same function.
    • Alice gets her Tongue on the Flagpole, and it gets longer as she pulls on it because she's from a squash and stretch cartoon. It soon thaws and retracts.

  • Averted:
  • Alice's tongue isn't long at all.
  • Alice has no tongue.
