Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 05, 2017
Transcript:
Alice: Petey! I can do it! I can wink! Petey: Well..... Alice: I'm winking with both eyes! Petey: It's kind of a wink. And kind of a squint. And a wince, too. Alice: It's a wink. Petey: It's a "Squince." That's what it is- a squince! Alice: You're just making up words! Hey, mom! Look! Petey: I wonder if they give a prize to people who make up a word. Mom: Alice, have you got something in your eye? What were you doing? Alice: Mom- Petey: Nah, probably not.... Mom: Were you playing with the can of spray cheese again? Alice: No! I'm winking!

Mom is so suspicious! Doesn’t she recognize a squince when she sees one?
I support my hero, Petey, and his wonderful neologism….
