Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 23, 2015

Yeah, motion picture adaptions of books are at times so wrong… they add things there weren’t in the book at all.

Wow, 3-D with no glasses. I’d go watch it just to see what the effects look like

Apparently Little Oopsie could do with an electroencaphalogram.

When does Petey read Little Oopsie books? Is he being unfaithful to Little Neuro behind our backs?!In any case, he was wise to avoid the 3-D movie experience….

3D … without the glasses? IMpressive.

Again, Richard posted a blog entry for this strip.

A giant 3D spit bubble???? EW………….

Maybe they meant a 3D animation adaption of a flat, hand-drawn source, like the Over the Hedge movie adaptation of the comic strip. A turtle can walk upright in a drawing, but the physics don’t work when you add more realism.

No wonder they’re the only ones in the theatre …

How did they watch it without the 3d glasses?

Thanks, mabrndt!

I only read two or three comments from the blog, but one reader mentioned “one of those Magic Eye Picture things,” which I assume is a picture book where the pictures look 3-D when you put your eyes a certain way. Well, I got one of those books to work – you kind of throw your eyeballs into a different gear and half-focus them – and saw all kinds of things, like looking into a deep cone. Soon after that, my eye muscles were REALLY sore, for awhile. I later found a warning of sorts in this book, but it wasn’t really prominent. Years later, I had to have surgery on my right eye for a detached retina. A couple of weeks ago, I found that I have macular degeneration in that eye. There you go with another reason to fear 3-D stuff!
