Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 08, 2010

A Pangolin? Sheesh.

Oh mommy. How do you make a pangolin costume?

Alice is a scary-precocious four-year old! And she’ll be a fine pangolin!

The over/under on how many people will know what her costume is (without her telling them) is 0.5.

And I’m taking the under.

I still say go for the clown costume.

A cute lil girl in an animal costume will clean up, even in a pangolin costume. As a plus, everyone knows pangolins like Mars bars, while if she went as a bear, people would give her fish, or pancakes if she went as a badger. Alice would make a cute badger, though.

You know I don’t recall ever seeing a Pangolin turn up at our house, I think this idea is a winner.

I love the Batman reference in panel 2 (“Criminals are a cowardly and superstitious lot”).

Good catch on the Batman reference!

Any spammers who don’t offer pangolin Halloween costumes are getting flagged.

PANGO! PANGO! PANGO! PANGO! LIN? PANGO!!!!

Five bucks says that when Alice does the pangolin’s call the town will be inflitrated by at least one pangolin.

Good idea, Lexi. Those spammers are getting annoying.

A new Superheroine is born - The Pangolin!

You pan-GO-lin Girl!

I still think she should go as Polyfill.

Pangolin fever is sweeping the Cul De Sac!

“What would appeal to their weakness for the adorable?” Another great example of why I love this comic!

I’d still like Halloween if people made their costumes. The feather mask of my cockatoo costume got moths in it so I’ll eventually make a new one.

How many hits do you think Google has had on Pangolin today? I’ll admit I was one of them.

I have a feeling that another sewing machine is going to hurled through a brick wall….

Happy Birthday to the greatest living or dead cartoonist ever!! Hope the pies are flying in! Have a great evening!

just remember alice, you will change your mind again this year at least 5 or 6 more times before halloween

It’s a sure winner! People who don’t know she’s a pangolin (almost everybody) will think she’s a giant pine cone, which is almost as adorable.

LOVED the Batman riff.
