Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 02, 2010

Alice, you and Petey are polar opposites.

Madeline is in the running for World’s Coolest Mom, isn’t she?

Oh, Heaven forbid! That’s not good, Alice.

It’ll be great! Alice, the Half-human, Half-pangolin! –And not at all Petey!

I bet Dill will be jealous. Maybe his brothers can help him turn into a half-pangolin, too!

Werepangolins are an under represented genre in the popular media.

Oh no! No more Cul De Sac for another 12 hours!

I’m glad you feel better, Alice.

Alice’s mom is the all-time best!

You don’t want to do that, Alice.

Your book just arrived in the post, Mr. Thompson. http://yfrog.com/1fpd7j

I have an idea to get rid of spam. what if we all click on the link to the spammers, then email them 100 times for absolutely no reason? think that would get rid of them?

It’s OK, Alice, you’ve been sick. We can forgive you temporary lapse into sanity!

One Petey in a family is quite enough, then again so is one Alice.

LOVE R.T.’s cross-hatching on the third panel!

Can you imagine being mom to both Petey and Alice? That’s like having given birth to matter and anti-matter..

Alice and Petey are sooooo luck to have such a great Mum !

Could be worse, Alice!

When my morning newspaper first came out with this strip a few months ago, I was very cynical about it. So often the paper brings out new strips that suck, imho. But after a few readings I really fell in love with vAlice and the gang. It’s so true to life in many respects, and has a really homey feel. We need more of its kind in this sad world.

After spending time altering Alice’s costume only to have that effort go to waste on Halloween night, I think it’s pretty smart of her mom to find a reason for Alice to wear it before she grows out of it. That’s what I would have done.
