Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 30, 2010
Transcript:
Alice: What happened to you? Dill: My brothers had an accident with their Fourth of July Parade float. It's a total loss. They got the fireworks cannon set up and the giant George Washington's wooden teeth working. Then BOOM! The pneumatics blew and animatronic Ben Franklin's head flew off prematurely! Alice: I don't follow history too closely. Is that wrong?

Just slightly.

His head flew off prematurely? When is the appropriate time for Franklin’s head to fly off exactly?

Alice is looking cool in her flip-flops.
[It’s that exciting attention to detail which is one of the reasons this comic is so enjoyable & interesting.]

I think a whirligig needs to be made of this crazy float.

Of course, it’s wrong! That’s what makes it so funny!

Yes… those textbooks from Texas (by committee). cdward totally got me laughing, but seriously if I were still raising my kids I’d do home schooling exept for math and advanced science… I’d like our children to actually learn about the real world - not something censored by every possible self intrest group!!
