Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 12, 2018

I hope the author of “Fontanelle the Imperiled Infant” self-publishes their work. (What a big word for Alice: imperiled.)

Well, of course. Who doesn’t love a giant rabid gorilla?

2 blog entries from 10 years ago, come September, are related to this strip:

Miss Bliss should get Peter to read this to the Class, followed by a sing-along featuring her banjo-playing Loser boy friend !

Sounds like Lemony Snicket wrote another series.

Petey was read these same stories as a pre-schooler but took them to heart. That’s why he barely leaves the safety of his bed these days.

Those are classic kids books. My mom recited “The Cremation of Sam McGee” to us on winter’s mornings as we got ready for school.

These sound like books Edward Gorey could’ve written. Can gorillas even GET rabies?

ok….I just luv this comic strip. <3

Daddy and the infant look very much alike.

Fontanelle – Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fontanelle

A fontanelle (or fontanel) (colloquially, soft spot) is an anatomical feature of the infant human skull comprising any of the soft membranous gaps (sutures) between the cranial bones that make up the calvaria of a fetus or an infant.

These books sound like the sequel to ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’ by Lemony Snicket. One of my absolute favourites. Now a Neflix Original Series starring Neil Patrick Harris.

I love the art work in panels 2 and 3.

Daddy Peter is so good to Alice! Though, to be fair, the Fontanelle books sound pretty entertaining even for an adult take, and I suspect he enjoys reading them himself! Why have I missed out on Oswaldo Twee for all these years?
