Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 22, 2010

This is gonna be good.

You notice Mom’s not answering their questions?

Grandma appears to have some peculiar preferences, if Alice is correct. –In which case, I’d agree with Petey: ew!

Good Lord. Drop Grandma off at a rest area; let her share her stuffing with the squirrels. Pick her up after the Jets game?

Time with Grandma is always an adventure!

Woof woof…

Some people have some peculiar tastes.

I had forgotten all about this: http://www.gocomics.com/culdesac/2007/11/19/

Good one, Snarkm; me too. Thanks for posting that.

That’s a myth, there are a lot of things people can eat (Campbell’s soup, for example) that are cheaper per meal than canned dog food. Old people eating dog or cat food is just an urban legend invented by certain left-wing politicians to advance their own agendas.

there wouldn’t be enough room for big shirley in your van alice

JohnnyDiego: some buy canned cat food (fish flavored) instead of canned tuna

Great graphics; brilliant dialogue

“Old people eating dog or cat food is just an urban legend invented by certain left-wing politicians to advance their own agendas.”

Oh, so it’s like the flip-side of all those Welfare Cadillacs?

Hey, not all that much legend as some might think.

Some 30 years ago when I lived in Portland, OR I shopped at a discount grocery store under the bridges in a neighborhood of tenement housing. One elderly gentleman ahead of me in the checkout line had a number of cans of dogfood in his cart with little else. The clerk commented “Well, it looks like your little dog is going to eat well.”. The elderly customer’s reply was “I don’t have a dog. No dog will get this. It’s mine”.

People do what they feel is necessary to survive, and are on the most part thankful . No where that good in 3rd world countries.

And by the way, I’m not saying this in the defense of any left wingers. I am boastfully extreme right. But sadly the left wing politicians do use stories like these as a ploy for their OWN benefits. Sad.

Thanks for posting that link, snarkm … luv Big Shirley!

Actually, Grandma may be in for a rude awakening - most restaurants will NOT allow “outside food” to be brought in at all. Health department rules or potential liability issues.

ramen’s cheap, used to eat it with eggs today’s meal was mashed taters with peas for me ‘trying to go more veggie

I wonder why mom gets to drive in a regular-looking car and dad gets to drive in a toy.
