Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 09, 2015

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

Crumb gutters. Now why didm’t I think of that?

When I was a little boy, every kid’s jeans were too long so the legs had to be doubled up into cuffs at the bottom. Anything else would have been tres uncool. I had to learn to empty them out outside the house when I came home so my mother wouldn’t yell at me for bringing in all the dirt. Never regarded them as a source of snacks, though.But I give Dill credit for sharing.

Crumbgutters! Yes! Of course I had them when I was a kid, although I didn’t think to value them as a source of snacks, a.k.a. nom noms; mostly, they held lint, dust, dirt, and unspeakables rather than cookie fragments….

Yep, those roll ups gave as room to grow in. As long as we didn’t grow out. … Class of ’67

Crumbgutters! I hope Richard Thompson heard that shriek of laughter!

Just wait till you grow up, Alice. Then you’ll have crumb-CATCHERS!

Sorry if this was inappropriate. I couldn’t resist ;)

Anyone who has worn a cummerbund (properly) knows that you wear it with the folds pointing up, not down. That’s so you can catch the crumbs from your fancy meal and save them for later.

And he shares! No questions asked, no quid pro quo.

If they don’t find you hansom; let them find you handy!
