Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 30, 2010
Transcript:
Mom: Honey, if you're still sick, I don't think you'll be able to go Trick-or-Treating. Alice: Bud MOMB! Id's nod fair! Mom: I know. But Petey and Andre say they'll Trick-or-Treat for you! Petey: See? We've got a big pillowcase with your name on it. We'll tell everybody it's for the sick pangolin - Alice: Yay!

Yay? If you make it to my door, Petey, I ain’t fallin’ for that old gag!

Nonetheless, overeasy, his willingness to help is commendable.

I’d give him extra candy just because he’d wedged his head in that box …

Alms! Alms for the Sick Pangolin! Alms!…
(Good for Petey. If nothing else, he’s cheered his sister!)

What are big brothers for?

What is Andre’s costume again?
I always admire Petey the minimalist: don’t change clothes, simply stick head in box. Costume complete.

You ‘da Brother Petey.

Andre is his favorite super-villain, FEARMONGER THE MENACE MERCHANT! And if we see Loris, maybe she’ll be a neutrino. (See 10/21 comic)
1effinday over 14 years ago
And I’m looking forward to seeing a full-on view of that FEARMONGER face. Good work, RT.

1effinday, would that make Andre the MERCHANT OF MENACE?
I like Petey - for all his neurosis, he’s a very good brother.

It looks to me like Andre is going as Gene Weingarten.
Steve Parmelee Premium Member over 14 years ago
Andre’s mask looks like a paleface Blue Meanie.

Well let’s wait and see if Alice actually gets her candy or they end up eating it on the way home!

It’s just like Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, only to benefit pangolins.

Hey, rayannina
You got a shoutout over at Richard’s blog!
And the werewolf was a lot of fun to draw. A reader on GoComics thought his nametag said “Stan” and I wish I’d used that instead of “Staff.”

Plan B is that Mom can buy half price candy on Monday.

RT, loved your three short story Halloween gift to us! Not sure which one was my favorite.

Ah what a good big brother .

If it’s for a sick Pangolin then the folks should fill the pillowcase with fresh ants (maybe chocolate covered)…
Ushindi over 14 years ago
Nothing more heartrending than a sick pangolin…
