Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 14, 2010
Transcript:
Petey: Don't touch that! Kitchen sponges are the germiest things in the house! Alice: Germs? Petey: GERMS. Those teeny-weeny little dirty things. Petey: Millions and millions of them! Petey:Blows your mind, huh? Alice: Mom, can I take a really really long bath for the rest of my life?

That must be Alice’s payback for the stuffed gila monster caper.

leakysqueaky712 I don’t think this is related to the daily strips but it would be good payback, though.

So much for Dill’s future marriage plans.

And I don’t think that Petey is really trying to mess with Alice’s head on purpose–he is just naturally gifted in that area….

Today’s strip is my going on my top ten list of most visually memorable moments in Alice’s facial expressions and bizarre germ representation. How can you beat a micro sized army of Dills?

The little dills could be a recurring theme.

I never knew germs could look so cute and fun! They always make them look so weird in science class or whatever… I think I’ll take these!

Good catch, pinkdryad. I don’t know if that was RT’s intent, but it fits.
So… Petey caught a head cold not because he got snow in his mittens, but because he and Alice encountered Mr. Giant Head-Cold Germ himself as they came home from sledding (Jan. 27). It’s reasonable to assume that Alice, having had much greater exposure to Dill in the past, has built up an immunity…

Well, Dill WAS a Head Cold Germ in the Christmas play…

I can’t imagine having the talent to draw all of those tiny Dills and they all are easily recognized because they are the same! Amazing!!!
