Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 25, 2010

Stand your ground, Petey. Excellent work, BTW.

Spoken like a true artist.

Good thing I’m reading this at 1:37 in the morning, otherwise the milk from my cereal would have shot out my nose. Great job as always Richard!

Woof?

Petey sounds like a real diorama-pro. Alice, don’t look a gift diorama in the hair [or something like that]!

You tell her, Petey.

But that’s not how it happened.

It’s the heroic version - Petey says so himself. Like all the “greats” of history, it’s all in the telling.

“Lie o’ drama” ;o)

No one will take his art seriously until he signs his name “Peter”.

You’re right. “Petey the Great” really doesn’t have much of a ring to it, does it?

Another excellent one!

In reality the smile was absent from Alice’s face.

Petey is quite good at those dioramas, isn’t he though?!

Where do all these shoeboxes that Petey use come from? Is Mom Imelda Marcos or something?

You can see the treat if you look closely. Either that, or Alice has a bandage on her finger.

What I find amazing is Petey is every bit as good of an artist as Richard Thompson is.

Yay, Petey! (And of course, Alice!)

That family must go through a LOT of shoes.

Petey has a line on empty shoe boxes. He has his regular stores he visits to relieve them of extras (ones customers don’t want to take with them).

Love the diorama Petey! How to help Alice visualize what CAN happen instead of what she fears will happen.

Cheers for Richard and this wonderful comic!

love it - shirley reminds me of my old chow pooka only dog who would literally faint at the sight of a hairbrush

Alice you shouldn’t complain about the finished product – keep it because when Petey is famous for his “shoe-box diorama art” you’ll be able to not only say you own one, but it was one you commissioned! Think of the big bucks$$$$$$ you’ll have then!

He’s such a good brother .

@LouW ROFLMAO!!!! First off, that was funny, second off, you must be as old as me to remember her!!!!

@ArthurAllen Thanks! You can see the treat!! LOL!

Love the heroic depiction- and Alice needs to SEE her hair. Also- Imelda Marcos is legendary to many generations for her shoes.

Is it embarrassing that I don’t know who Imelda Marcos is? Who is she, anyway?
