Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 16, 2015

What a relief. (Good to know Petey’s over his cold too.)

Odd children

petey sure lucked out.. but she actually does like him i’ll bet

So Viola is still calling him “Potterpoop” even though she knows it’s “Otterloop”, and she says nothing’s changed. But is she being honest?

Petey sighs in relief; but, unfortunately, he doesn’t really understand Girlspeak, mistaking it for English. What Viola meant was (translated into English) that things have changed. Beware, Petey. She may even regard herself as your girlfriend now!

He doesn’t understand. She means she still intends to one day marry him and fix him.

Meet the future Mrs. Potterpoop.

Of course, nothing has changed. She might as well punch him in the arm and make it obvious she likes him.

And are all those other appurtenances hanging from her bookbag from previous boyfriends?

I used to think those backpacks were an exaggeration, but I’ve seen the kids at the bus stop and they are indeed hugeous. Plus the new generation of businessmen in the city, with their jacket, tie, and backpack rather than a briefcase. Go figure.

/Back in MY day we used bookbags

A girl bully is still a bully. Calling him by a nasty play on his name is bully behavior.
