Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 08, 2009

You could draw a few sun beams darting forth from those circles around your eyes, Alice.

at least alice didn’t use a permanent marker

Little girls bring sunlight and laughter. When they grow up they bring all the things that I like.

Little girls are vaguely terrifying and exposure to them regularly makes me very happy that I have little boys instead.

At least it’ll wash of, Mom. Her future tattoos and body piercings won’t.

Boy her Dad will very surprised…

Alice always brings sunlight and laughter, when she doesn’t bring dark shadows and fear.

I would be totally happy to see this as the theme for the week. Alice is the best when he’s odd yet intimidating. I bet Dill will cower in terror!

This is why you never leave youngsters unattended with magic markers around:

Alice’ mother had better be glad Alice hasn’t gotten her hands on one of these:
