Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 16, 2013

OOpsy….

Ooooooh…. Mrs. Otterloop made a Freudian slip!

I suppose you can get fake lice.

Hey Marg is back!So we shall sing a verse from the “Marg is Back” song:

♬ Marg is good ♫♪ And Marg is back ♬♫ And it’s good that Marg is back ♪

I grew a nice Santa beard last year and got lots of compliments. Started to this year, but all I was getting were “Duck Dynasty” comments, so I had it trimmed back.

Oh,yeah! Now she pays attention!

Santa knows who’s been naughty or lice…

Good save, Madeline! Hot chocolate covers a multitude of slips (and blouses, and sweaters, etc.).

This strip is just as good at catching mom moments as it is with kid moments.

My eye is itching. The power of suggestion.

Quick, plant some lice in the beard to prove it is real.

She should just say. Because of the lice, Santa bad shave his beard, so he now nas to wear a fake beard

If lice can spread via combs, I’m pretty sure they can spread via fake beards. Still enjoyed the “mom slip” though :-)

Alice now wants to investigate Santa’s beard up close.

I once had a Hallowe’en mask with ogre hair that had lice…They were drawn to the thing…

I’ve seen Santas with real beards!
