Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 11, 2011

LOL! Love all the puppy dog eyes!

You will get to see it soon enough Alice, hang in there.

I’m not sure if Alice is bothered by the fact that she hasn’t seen the puppy yet or that it is Kevin’s puppy instead of her’s or that everybody pays more attention to the puppy instead of her. So many reasons to get jealous, poor Alice, it must be hard to just choose one.

I didn’t know Puppy Dog Eyes were contagious!

If the eyes are popping out and the tongue is sticking out, somebody’s squeezing the puppy too tight.

Have you seen a basset hounds eyes?

For a second there I thought I was looking at a puppy.

I thought he was wearing sun glasses:-}

You’ll not be hearing the end of this puppy thing in the very near future, Alice.

With the dilated pupils and glazed looks I’m glad it’s just a puppy that they’re into.

This is a puppy, this is your kid with a puppy. Get the picture?

It has got to rankle Alice to be one of the last to meet Kevin’s puppy. I thought those eyes were goggles in the last panel. He looks like he’s dressed in a hazardous waste suit. Of course maybe he was petting the wrong end of the puppy.

I know what it means when I get big eyes. (So does the Police officer “interviewing” me)

Whatever you do, DO NOT show the puppy to Loris Slothrop! Her eyes will get bigger seeing the puppy, the puppy’s eyes will respond in kind, starting a feedback-reaction of ocular neoteny which will consume the universe until all that is left are four enormous eyes.

oh fritzoid—hope that’s next–

I fall more in love with this strip every day
