Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 07, 2010

Transcript:
Alice: I don't know what to be for Halloween. Petey: I've already started making my costume! I'm going to be a Human Shoebox Diorama! Alice: Every year for Halloween you put a box on your head! Petey: Heads in boxes are scary!
I thought Petey had the word “Boo” written on a piece of paper and stuck it to himself every year. He’s done that more than once for Halloween, at least.
The “Boo” was the first Halloween costume Petey wore in the strip. The second was a box on his head (not his head IN a box), which was his scathing commentary on our consumer society (that was my favorite). Last year he was an out-of-body experience.
If Petey wears a blonde wig inside his box, he can go as Gwyneth Paltrow in “Se7en”…
This whole family cracks me up. Signed up to get Cul de Sac on email while I’m visiting an area without it. It’s the way I start every morning with a laugh.

At least Petey has a plan, Alice. Don’t knock it until you get an idea for your own costume!

You are sooo right, Petey! Does anyone else remember Senor Wences?
