Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 03, 2009

Alice, an expert at evasive conversation…

But Dill LIKES being bossed around!

Children at that age can always change the subject from punishment. Get Mom to laughing. Brillant.

its the cuteness that will get her outta trouble

future politicans of american

alice is sounding more like a neighbor i had when i was 7 or 8 years old, always getting out of punishment…

ah yes, the ADD defense..

Don’t let mom get a word in or you’re in trouble Alice.

BWAH-HA-HAH-AH-HAH!

I mean, stick to the subject, Alice.

Alice’s mom is way to uptight. Remember when we were kids? The stuff we did was 10x worse that anything Alice does. So she threatened to blow his tires out, so what? We used to try to put a stick in each other’s bike wheels all the time!! I say mom needs to lighten up and Dill needs to be taught the consequences of being a tattle tail!

If kids weren’t so bleeep cute mankind would have become extinct eons ago.

This is why I like Alice so much! You can’t argue with an ADD person.

No no, it’s not because their argument is flawless, I mean you really CAN’T argue with ADD people ;)

Hey, I have ADD and I argue just - hey, look! A bunny!

lovely comic.

i like this comic because it’s a good comic. Other people, please stop posting your ideas on what Alice should do next.

Alice is pretty good at changing the subject. Alice’s mom needs to stop following along with it though.

I don’t have ADD, it’s just that - LOOK! A chicken!!

One of the first lessons I learned as a father was to stay on topic when having to mete out discipline to an unruly child. I had three, and each was masterful in his or her own way at attempting to deflect criticism and discipline!

I might or might not have ADD (I haven’t been diagnosed yet), but I – Hey, a SQUIRREL!!!
