Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 17, 2018

and how is a preschooler supposed to know that, Petey?

Maybe you need more practice. Alice appears to be unscathed.

Go with it, Petey. At least it’s having the desired effect on Alice.

A carton of ice cream that someone negligently left out of the refrigerator for too long is a scathing commentary on our consumer culture.

(As in how we waste food in a totally irresponsible way to the point that we produce more than enough to feed the entire world population and yet thousands of people suffer from malnutrition all over the world.)

Horrors! A blood-sucking bat and zombified ice cream; a truly ghastly, terrifying pair.

Perhaps a scathing commentary on scathing commentary.

Alice is one reason why Peter prefers to stay in his bedroom.

I think his dad was right – square peg.

All Peter will get with that get up is a rock.

Way to go, Alice. You’ve got Petey contemplating even deeper meaning to his box hat.

…from Trader Joe’s. And, gluten free.

It’s lonely making jokes that you’re the only one smart enough to get, isn’t, Petey Potterpoop?

ooh, Alice just out-scathed Petey!

Brain-flavored ice cream! Ben and Jerry need to get started on that right away. Gray matter mint? Chocolate cerebellum??

Oh yeah Petey boy….Captain Obvious for sure….NOT.

Petey, you forgot to add the Amazon Prime logo!

I hate to disappoint my hero, Petey, but it seems to me that Alice’s interpretation makes as much sense as his own, if not more! Mmmm, brain-flavored ice cream!

Same building, different floors. Brain flavored zombie ice cream is a scathing comment on consumer culture.

Be ascathed! Be very ascathed!
