Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 29, 2013

Oh lordy, Petey would like this…

Alice putting away like that is reminding of the mini golf episode of “Tiny Toons” with baby Plucky Duck and his dad.

Don’t think it is the sun somehow.

You need to get a grip Alice.

Alice is only four! I think she should not be rushed into organized sports like this so soon!Hurry up, Alice!

I love/hate mini golf.

this might be one of the first strips where richard does his unique patented “one-scene-stretched-over-three-panels” thing.

Of course. Everything goes in slow motion with Alice playing.

Ha ha

And this is why mini-golf courses have rules about six shots and then pick up the ball and score 7.

Show them how it is done Alice. Put that ball in the hole.

You’d think Petey would like chess…

Actually, I was always kind of fond of mini-golf. At least there’s more interesting things to see than in real golf. And it’s far shorter too, an added plus.

Petey’s got a career in designing PGA courses after the apocalypse.

Oh Marg! Mini golf is fun if the course is interesting.

I’ve played mini golf with a 3 and 5 year old, the 5 year old was one of only 2 people to get a hole in one and got it in the “bonus because it’s difficult” hole. When any one came up behind us we’d let them play through. But one pair did the smart thing and skipped the hole we were on to come back to it (it wasn’t very busy).

In Mimi-golf I can score under a hundred strokes.
