Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 19, 2015

I hope it wasn’t Petey who told her those so-called spells.

She’s a witch!

Must have a test at school for which she forgot to study.

No rest for the wicked.

maybe you should try reverse psychology and say you don’t want any snow

This is scary Alice. She doesn’t really have any…powers…. Does she?

An ice cube on the pot could certainly bring you piles.

Alice needs a spell checker.

Is she made of wood?

I don’t know about Alice but my youngest, when she was 5 or 6, could make it rain or not rain…If she wanted it to rain she would bang on her little drum and if she didn’t want it to rain she would pray to God….I know what you are thinking but EVERYtime she did it it would happen. Also, we went on vacation to the mountains and, while stopped at a stoplight, she piped up with “Last night I dreamed the car blew up” and just as she finished saying that….the car blew an AC hose with a very loud bang and smoke billowing out of the hood. She was a very sweet, innocent, trusting little girl, but after that I did away with the drum and asked her not to tell me about anymore dreams like that.

she has the strange gift, just wait ,when she grows up!

Alice is being silly here. EVERYBODY knows you have to do the Let It Snow dance to prime the pump.In the front yard, because how else are the clouds going to see you?

Madeline: “Alice get your butt in bed or it will be hot instead.”

Interesting to note how Richard’s name appears under the flush-sounds in Panel 2. Also, you can see the tag on the back of Alice’s inside-out p. j.’s in Panels 1 and 3.

im remembering how linus used the “rain, rain, go away” rhyme and tje rain stopped.

Some little kid must have done that spell here. Now I want to know the spell to get rid of it all.

Ha-ha! This is one of my favorite comics :D

She should try Calvin’s spell, too:“Snow, Snow! High and Low! Wherever we go! Let it blow! To and fro! HI-DE-HO! Snow! Snow! Snow!”

We had thunder yesterday. Old wives’ tale says that means snow within 10 days. We shall see…

Oops – forgot the “!” at the beginning.
