Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 27, 2010

GASP! Not the Evil Eye?!?

Notice who got K.O.’d

Alice is still the reigning champ!!

I can see Alice as a source of evil.

Maybe she’s just trying to wink.

You ain’t seen nothing yet, Kevin—wait’ll you’re past puberty….

Sheesh. At least it wasn’t a song cue.

grazer, Alice at pubert? Not sure I want to even imagine that.

Poor Kevin is doomed now, with a shriveled soul the only path left to him is vast wealth.

Good gracious…Alice is full of waspy meanness today!

Yes, but her look of shocked, righteous faux-innocence in panel 1 is classic.

I was thinking something along those lines, Doctor Toon - perhaps well past puberty.

Putting them both in the same corner probably wasn’t the best plan to begin with!

@Mister Fweem - LOL! But it could be! I bet a poet among us could create a “shriveled soul” song!

♪ Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like Our Timeout Corner. ♪

Do men and women ever truly get along? Oh yeah, during those precious moments.

alice sure has been a might testy lately,

maybe she needs a summer vacation

HAHA!! Alice, Kevin, AND Clovis are in time out today. Good times!

I bet Petey chased her with the zombie toads again!

LOL. I’m having more fun with this strip than the law will allow!

(To the tune of 4’33”)

Ooooooh, She gave me the eye And I felt my soul shrivel, I don’t mean to snivel, But the problem ain’t trivel. I’m hardly ambival- Ent. I’m normally chival- Rous to a fault, But this was assault! She gave me a push, Knocked me onto my tush, It’s completely unfair That I’m stuck in a chair With no swivel Singing drivel. My oh my, I could cry ’Cause she gave me the eye. Ooooooh!

As long as he’s sitting there, it’s an opportunity for Kevin to practice his posture…

The comments here are so funny and clever! Thanks for the laughs. :-)

Excellent, Fritzoid! And it’s hard to fit lyrics to that tune!

Fritzoid, rofl!

50 years later…

Why is Kevin in Time Out?! He did nothing!!!
