Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 07, 2015

Once again, Richard posted a blog entry for just this strip.

Sofie ninja’d again!

Yeah, really. At least she didn’t call you Sofa this time.

Very wise (non-)response, Beni.Alice was asking for that sudden appearance by Sophie/Sofie/Sophia/Sofa—you know, “that weird girl.”

When I was in high school, I was standing behind a chemistry classmate, who told the girl in front of her that she had “that weird Parker girl in her unit”. She must have caught the deer in the headlights expression of the girl to whom she was speaking, because she glanced over her shoulder at me, and said, “oh, sorry” and kept right on talking.

I’m with Sophie.

Sorry Alice, I’m afraid that you are the most weird.

Love the conspiratorial expression on Alice’s face in panel 2.

Last time I saw the exclamation “Eep!” in a comic was something like 50 years ago—it was used extensively in Archie comics (most frequently by Mr. Weatherbee).

You know, we all store everything we see, everything we hear, all the time, can’t help it. Some people are better at retrieving, that’s all.

Now, that would be interesting.
