Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 07, 2010

Up to the minute!

Sadly, some kids this age have blogs!

All the ingredients for a classic fairy-tale! –As re-told today, on someone’s blog! Sigh!

He must stay in the dungeon.

You can tell it is a blogger by how pale it is.

Is this the first Cul de Sac comic where neither Petey nor Alice appears?

Furthermore, is that a kilt?

Yes, that’s a kilt.

A “blogger”? What sort of mythical beast is that?

I love the Blisshaven building

so Frank Lloyd Wright

The gasp GAZEBO was eaten by the eeek AKIMBO (no relation).

There is a slight notch on the boy’s shorts in panel 3, indicating it’s not a kilt.

Madras shorts, I believe.

It looks like Harry Potter to me. Is Richard Thompson trying to say kids their age don’t know who Harry Potter is anymore?

Today’s comic would have hit way too close to home.. except I had wizards banished from my realm about 7 years ago.

League of Supporting Characters Assemble!

Ooh an internet paparrazzo maybe ? Oh God things could go very bad in this puppet theatre . Let’s hope he doesn’t have many followers .

Gee, and to think the last puppet I bought was a pirate… and I could’ve had a blogger – rats!

That is not a kilt, but big, baggy shorts.

The blogger puppet looks like the Count from Sesame Street

Marcus looks so Scottish with those shorts.

Ha! A blogger. He could be the narrator of the story, telling it on his blog!
