Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 13, 2015

You know Dill oh so well, Alice.

Once again, Richard posted a blog entry for just this strip. It references the strip from October 18, 2008 (now in color, click for full size)

I dunno, Alice. A shorter Dill is closer to the ground, and so to the evidence of previous leaf-fall….

Sorry Dill, the characters in your strip never age so you’ll always be short. Bonehead, hahahah.

As much as I remember from a slightly precious poem I got published in a student newspaper, years ago:

“When I was a child, my mother saidit’s going to snow,and I watched and waitedfor the first snowflake,but it fell so softly, and passed;it’s buried now.

And the world is pale and silent now,buried in snowflakes,like tears."
