Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 17, 2009

I think there’s room for improvement, there Alice.

Alice, you need to tune that up a bit…

I like how it ends.

I would pay to watch that pageant.

C’mon Mom, show us. Ah 1, Ah 2, Ah 3………………………………..

Richard – that’s outstanding!

Did your brother want an ugly giant fountain as well? :)

I wonder how they managed to convince her that the fountain was ugly. I don’t think that’s how she described it before!

Nice story, Richard.

I was expecting it to rhyme.

It may rhyme if Alice remembers the words.

Time is running out to enter the Cul de Sac Christmas Sweater contest! Last day for submissions is December 18th! Grand prize winner gets a signed Cul de Sac book and The Complete Calvin and Hobbes!!!

Go to blogs.gocomics.com for more info.

those pre - school and elementary pageants are such fun……. and to think, i never had a video camera for those treasured moments

I don’t think Alice is going to make it to Broadway.

We are winter’s jewels, Dancing through the air. Crystal shards of starlight, Sticking in your hair.

Accumulating on the ground, A foot or two (or more). We hope the plow comes down your street, If you need to reach the store…

Traffic’s at a standstill! Cabin fever’s rife! Three months out of every year We paralyze your life!

Heart attacks from shoveling! Power lines that break! So much havoc wrought from Each tiny little flake!

But if by chance the sun comes out, And melts us all away, Remember Frosty’s vengeful vow: ”I’LL BE BACK… on Christmas Day!”

fritzkringle. that is wonderful!

I was inspired by your wonderfulness, good sir. In my head, it’s performed by Led Zeppelin…

I don’t have any goofy sweaters, but would this earn me a prize?

just love it!

fritz: You are either quite talented of you steal from the best. (which is a talent too.)Thank you.

What a sad story for Christmas time, Alice!

Is there any ghastly screaming as you melt?

Small talents “borrow.” Great talents steal outright.

Only if I get a prize.

Maybe a big ugly fountain?

Fritz, how about a big ugly sweater?

In order to fit me, it’d have to be big, and if it wasn’t ugly before I put it on, it would be after…

Richard T. great story about your younger brother. Now about that ‘Dicky Bird’ thing….

just watched my pre-school grandkids in a christmas program – they never know any words either Alice! But their program is so much duller than yours!

@Fritzoid – that was just brilliant! You must be an einstein!
