Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 12, 2010

Alice sure burst her bubble.

Viola appears to be in shock, or at least dazed. Brava, Alice!

Oh, Alice, what course of events have you just set into motion? I shall stay tooned.

I don’t even think Petey realizes that she took it and planned to give it to her…wow!

All Right, Alice! BRAVO ZULU!

Nothing says love like a stuffed gila monster.

And Petey will be shocked when it finally sinks in where the stuffed gila monster went to.

Good to see color back;-) Did Viola hear Alice’s last remark?

Wow. A speechless Viola. That is a sight.

OMG viola seems surprised..

this could be the start of something big,

or petey is gonna get smacked when he gets back to school

What movie was that, Alice? I gotta add it to my Netflix queue.

Alice introduces matchmaking into her list of life’s achievements.

The plot thickens ! you go girlfriend…

I’d like to perch the amazing Alice on my shoulder myself. She is adorable.

one of my every day faves!! I just love Cul de Sac!!

A Friday cliffhanger?! I can’t wait.

Yup, poor Petey’s deep secret has been laid bare by his stubid liddo sizder.

Well, he could always blame this on a fever… :)

Is Viola reacting to Petey’s attraction, or to Alice’s erudition? Could be read either way…

Well said, Alice! And people say movies aren’t educational…

I hate (sorry… don’t say hate, don’t say hate…) I have awkward feelings towards party-crashers. But I feel I must do a little shameless-self-promoting here. I notice a lot of you commenting on the same sights that I view. Either we all have good taste in comics, or we’re all flipped-out and going to hell in a hand basket (whatever that means, but thank you Grandma). Would any, and maybe even all of you, trip on over to Sherpa and check-out my comic Mad Mouse? I’m pretty new and am just getting my bearings, so I can use all the wacky advice I can get. Just asking, I know you’re all busy… looking at the funnies and all. And thank you Mr. Thompson for putting up with my messaging on your turf-that is, IF you’re putting up with it.

P.S. I posted here because someone compared my writing style to Cul de Sac. After I woke up from passing out… I came directly here. This is an amazing comic strip… always!

I, for one, Sherpa. I actually find some of those strips more enjoyable to read than some of the strips here. I don’t know how the Powers That Be determines what goes where, but I have a feeling that perseverance and fine tuning one’s talent is the key to gaining a wider audience.

Good thing Alice didn’t just see The Shawshank Redemption…

Oh, PETE-ty! You can run neither fast nor far enough.

gotta love those little tikes
