Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 01, 2014

I guess Petey isn’t strong enough to drag a backpack with wheels and telescopic handles.

Tsk, 25 years from now Chiropractors will millionaires!

I imagine the day will come when there will be no more textbooks to lug around and everything will be on an ipad or tablet. Much easier to carry back and forth for sure.

Petey is more of a gas-bag than we knew! Maybe Viola is wise to distance herself from him.. Or, maybe Petey is just making up a story to explain away his full load….

When I was kid, we used two textbooks – one set was in classroom, and then everyone had one book at home to do homework. I guess nowadays schools are not rich enough to have one extra set for classroom (here all textbooks belong to school library).

All I had was a clay tablet, and a piece of chalk,

Tablets will soon solve this problem

Groan?

His backpack is about the right size for Alice. Have you checked to see if anyone was playing hide-and-seek in your school stuff lately Petey?

Ha, having clay tablets was way after I went to school. We drew in the dirt with our finger.

Oh yes, THIS little tale…

If Petey wants to get rid of his burden, he should find the Interpreter beyond Yonder Wicket Gate.

@ 2old, but not really!: We had to write out our assignments in our own blood…with a rusty nail…
