Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 07, 2019

What made you think, Ernesto, that Peter had the hots for Viola?

I’m confused….I thought Richard Thompson died a few years ago but all these strips look new…haven’t seen them before….enlighten me please

That was relatively smooth for Petey.

I think that, because some of us discovered the strip quite awhile after it began, and he did so many – some of the strips are ‘new’ to us. Or maybe it’s because it’s so sad that we lost such a unique talent far too soon…it’s wistful thinking. ;)

These are re-runs… Richard’s strip ran for 5 years originally.

Not directly about CdS, but 10 years ago today, Richard left a blog entry

about that day’s The Elderberries

where he also left a comment. The Elderberries was retired by its author, Corey Pandolph, 3/4/12, and it is in rerun as well. Sadly, Richard couldn’t comment again when that strip repeated 10/12/16; so, I left one:

Meanwhile, (Ahem) back to Petey; Perhaps both Viola & Ernesto are imaginary!

An act for “America’s Got Talent” if I ever saw one…

Dontcha hate love triangles where you’re the Hypotenuse?

Is this the prequel to a teen angst movie?

Only Petey could have imaginary rivals…

It now appears that the oboe player is second fiddle to the viola…

Whoa! Gangsta Ernesto menacing My Hero, Petey? This has got to stop!

Petey, don’t slam your head in the locker; don’t chew your arm off! Remember always: Ernesto is imaginary! And, Viola likes you!
